Katherine & Kimberly Corp Pilates on Fifth (New York City) We thoroughly recommend the flexcushion to all Pilates mat class teachers! The flexcushion has been a great addition to our Pilates mat classes. The flexcushion enables clients who need more help and support execute the exercises properly. By providing support for the lower back in many abdominal exercises, especially the ones that target the lower abdominals, clients can strengthen their core without placing stress on their lumbar spines (lower backs). For clients who can't sit upright on their pelvis due to tightness in the low back, hip flexors or hamstrings, the flexcushion is an excellent prop for helping them maintain a neutral pelvis while seated. The flexcushion is durable, versatile and lightweight making it ideal for clients and teachers to use with ease. We thoroughly recommend the flexcushion to all Pilates mat class teachers! Taku Watanabe (Chief Trainer) Loco Care Sports Massage (Tokyo, Japan) To prevent injury, and to contribute to performace for athletes We use Flexcushion when we act as Athletic Trainer for athletes in such sports as baseball, soccer, track & field, martial arts, etc. The flexibility around hip joint is commonly very important for all sports, and we use Flexcushion, especially to stretch adductor muscles and hamstrings. Most of the athletes and teams have difficulty on stretching one's adductor muscles and hamstrings. But Flexcushion makes it easier. All of athletes who try Flexcushion automatically like the function of the Flexcushion ! For athletes and traininers, I strongly recommed it. Dr. Yoshizumi Yamaguchi Daikanyama Yamaguchi Seikotsuin (Tokyo, Japan) To improve the Position of Spine, and Sacral Movement! 1. To acquire right posture naturally By using Flexcushion as chair, you can easily raise the angle of sacral against the lumber spine, and acquire right posture natsurally 2. To prevent back pain Lack of physical workouts sometimes lead to back pain, weaken the movement of sacral joint. If you sit on Flexcushion and move your pelvis forward and backward, you can easily feel the movement of sacral and it is a good workout as well. 3. To ease your back pain To do stretching exercise with Flexcushion may ease your back pain, as it would push your sacral forward, and would widen the range of movement around hip joint.
