Seat cushions are an important part of the Sports Pharmacy > Orthopedic Aids category, as they are used for additional comfort, pressure relief and support during sitting. They can be useful for people who sit for long periods, feel pressure in the lower back, coccyx or pelvic area, or need a more comfortable surface for everyday sitting.
This category includes the Bort Codyn seat cushion, an orthopedic aid intended for pressure relief while sitting. This type of cushion can be practical for use at home, at work, in a car or in other situations where pressure on sensitive areas needs to be reduced during prolonged sitting.
A seat cushion does not replace medical examination, physical therapy or treatment of the cause of pain, but it can provide additional comfort and support in everyday activities. In case of severe pain, injury, numbness, pain radiating down the leg or skin changes, professional advice should be requested.

When choosing a seat cushion, it is important to consider its shape, purpose, comfort and the area that needs relief. The Bort Codyn seat cushion can be a practical choice when pressure needs to be reduced during sitting and additional support for a sensitive area is needed.
The cushion should be used on a stable chair or surface, allowing proper body position without causing additional discomfort. If pain worsens while sitting or numbness and weakness occur, consult a doctor or physiotherapist.
Prolonged sitting can increase pressure on the lower back, pelvis and coccyx area. In addition to using a seat cushion, it is important to take breaks, stand up, stretch gently and pay attention to proper posture.

Use the seat cushion according to the manufacturer’s instructions and place it on a stable surface. If you use it because of pain, injury or recovery, monitor whether it provides relief or creates additional pressure. In case of severe or long-lasting pain, pain radiating down the leg, numbness, weakness, coccyx injury, wounds, skin changes or circulation problems, consult a doctor, physiotherapist or pharmacist.
