Ergonomics shouldn’t stop at the front door.

We all understand the importance of ergonomics at work.

You've had a workstation assessment to make sure your desk and chair support your back properly. If you work from home, you may have invested in an ergonomic chair, standing desk or extra support for working at the dining table.

It makes sense. We spend a lot of time at our desks, so good ergonomics and regular movement help reduce strain on the body and potential risk of back problems.

But what about after work?

Research by EE earlier this year found that us Brits spend about 20 hours a week on the sofa. That’s nearly 3 hours a day.

Yet a lot of sofas are too deep or too soft to support the spine well. Hence you end up shifting around, tucking your legs up because your feet don’t reach the floor, or needing to stretch when you do stand up.

Plus ,once you’re settled in for the evening, you probably don’t make the same effort to get up and move as you do during the working day.

Over time that can lead to back and neck issues.

It’s one of the reasons we developed the Sittingwell® cushion. To bring better ergonomics naturally into the home and give your lower back proper support while you relax at the end of the day.

It was Back to School day for me today, and I’ve taken my skull with me.

It was the start of a 2-day Advanced Mouthwork Masterclass with the brilliant Caroline Barrow. It feels lovely to be back with the Upledger CranioSacral Therapy UK Community continuing to expand my knowledge and skills in this beautiful therapy.

The mouth is a part of the body that can be so easily overlooked but has so many important connections, not just into the head but right down to the pelvis too.

Also an area the Vagus Nerve supplies and goes by, so work here can have a big impact on calming that down and allowing the whole fight flight system to relax.

Let alone left over tension and emotional stress from any dental work.

We’ve packed a lot into day one and I can’t wait to bring it into my clinic room.

Here’s a little more insight into what we go through in the From Frustration To Flow event.

I’ve spoken quite a bit recently about why we can know what we want to change and still find ourselves getting stuck, butI thought it might be useful to show you what we actually do during From Frustration To Flow.

Each session builds on the one before, so we start by taking stock of where things are now and gradually work through some of the beliefs, patterns and resistance that may be getting in the way.

And importantly, we use the tools and exercises as we go, so you’re not simply collecting more information.You’re starting to put things into practice during the experience.

Have a flick through the carousel for a look at what we’ll be covering across the six sessions.

The next From Frustration To Flow starts on 14th September and runs live online over two weeks.

Could an old surgical scar be contributing to your back pain?

Have you run out of options trying to resolve chronic or recurring back pain?

Do you keep going back for treatment because, even though you’re doing the stretches and exercises, the pain keeps returning?

If you’ve ever had surgery, no matter how long ago it was, it may be worth considering whether the resulting scar and restrictions could be another avenue to explore.

In our latest blog, I share the story of a client whose back pain was linked to a small appendix scar from around 40 years earlier. Once we worked with the restrictions around the scar, her back pain resolved and hasn’t returned.

Scars, both old and new, can sometimes create restrictions and compensation patterns elsewhere in the body. Yet they’re often overlooked when trying to understand why pain keeps coming back.

Could yours be a missing piece of the puzzle?

When you keep hearing the same issue from clients with back pain, you want to find a solution.

For us, that resulted in a 6-year journey we never imagined we’d find ourselves on.

People kept telling us their sofa was uncomfortable or aggravating their back pain. So we began looking into why, toured rather a lot of sofa shops and eventually decided we'd just design a better one ourselves.

Slight problem. We couldn't afford to. 😅

So we put our thinking caps on and started looking at what we could do instead.

What followed involved a lot of experimenting, numerous prototypes, a bit of papier mâché and a chance conversation that helped turn an idea into the Sittingwell® Cushion we have today.

As it turned out, what we created was far more adaptable than the sofa we’d originally imagined.

You can read the full story of how it came about in our blog:

We love hearing the stories behind our customer reviews.

This one is a great example of something people easily end up putting up with simply because they don't realise there might be product that could help.

Even a sofa or armchair that was once really comfortable can become less supportive as the cushions soften over time.

Or perhaps that lovely soft sofa felt incredibly cosy in the showroom, but after living with it for a while you've discovered that sinking into it is one thing, getting back out again is quite another.

The Sittingwell® Cushion isn't only used by people with back pain. Its hidden support can also help give an older sofa or armchair a new lease of life, or provide more support when your furniture is simply too soft or deep for you.

We were really pleased to hear the difference it made for P. Hill, particularly being able to stand more easily after sitting.

Who do you know who always struggles to get up after spending time on the sofa?

Maybe a little more support is what they've been missing.

We never set out to be inventors.

The Sittingwell® Cushion wasn't created by a product development business, or even ergonomic furniture designers.

It was created by two women who saw a need and wanted to do something about it.

We thought you might like to learn a little more about who we are, why we ended up creating the Sittingwell® Cushion and what we get up to outside of work.

Did you see the solar eclipse?

Back in 1999 Rachael and I were both very underwhelmed by the eclipse. We thought it would go fully dark rather than a bit dusky and I certainly didn't see much through my pinhole camera.

With that experience we weren't too concerned about seeing the eclipse yesterday until we opened our Octopus Energy e-mail which included details of their competition. 🐙

Oooooh now this sounds interesting.

What started out as, "how can we make a pinhole camera and watch the eclipse inside a box?", morphed into "oooh, we can make an octopus, hang on, two octopuses meeting under the half light of the solar eclipse and finding love." 🐙💜😃

Creativity is so healing as well as embracing our childlike side and having fun.

Yesterday we certainly did that.

It was great fun putting it all together, but also made for a much more memorable experience seeing lots of mini eclipses creating the shape of a couple of Octopuses and watching the change as the eclipse occurred.

How did you all do during the solar eclipse?

Do share some images if you have any.

Your sofa might feel comfy, but is it actually supporting you?

One of the problems with deep, soft sofas is that they can make it very easy to collapse backwards and lose the natural curves of your spine.

It might not feel like much at the time, but the way we sit day after day can gradually increase the strain on the muscles, joints, ligaments and discs of the back.

And that’s really the point. Good posture isn’t about sitting bolt upright or being rigid. It’s about giving your spine the support it needs while you relax.

We’ve explained a bit more about why posture matters, what happens when we slouch and how better support can help in our blog - What Is So Important About Posture Anyway?

When a slipped disc isn’t healing as expected, it can be frustrating and exhausting, especially when you’ve followed the usual advice but the pain won't go away.

Our latest blog on the It’s All About Health website looks at what a slipped disc actually is, why symptoms can sometimes persist and what else may be worth exploring when the usual treatments aren’t giving you the progress you hoped for.

It also shares practical ways to support your body through the healing process and considers how different parts of the body can influence recovery, rather than looking at the painful area in isolation.

We thought it may be a helpful read for some of our Sittingwell® followers too.
