Ischial Tuberosity Support Cushion

Commonly Chosen for Sit-Bone & Proximal Hamstring Discomfort

The cushion is particularly popular with customers who need to reduce pressure around the area where the upper hamstring meets the pelvis.

Customers commonly choose it when experiencing:

• Proximal hamstring tendinopathy
• Upper hamstring tendon irritation
• Ischial bursitis
• Ischial tuberosity or “sit-bone” pain
• Tenderness after hamstring injury or surgery
• Pain aggravated by prolonged sitting

Many customers are already working with a physiotherapist or other health professional when they begin looking for a cushion that can help reduce pressure while sitting.

Why the Cutaway Design Matters

A normal flat cushion still leaves your sit bones pressing into the surface beneath you. Making that cushion softer does not necessarily remove that pressure.

This cushion approaches the problem differently.

Struggling with Pain While Driving?

Driving is one of the most common situations where customers use this cushion. A car seat keeps you in essentially the same position for an extended period, which can be particularly difficult when your sit bones or proximal hamstring attachment are already sensitive.

Place the cushion directly onto the car seat to help reduce pressure while travelling. It can be especially useful for longer drives or during recovery when extended periods of sitting are difficult to avoid.

Use It Wherever Sitting Is Difficult

Take the cushion with you wherever you need additional support during prolonged sitting.

Customers also use the cushion when travelling as passengers and during long-haul flights where prolonged sitting may otherwise aggravate their symptoms.

Useful During Recovery

If you are recovering from a hamstring injury, tendon irritation, bursitis or another condition affecting the sit-bone area, avoiding sitting altogether often isn't practical.

The cushion provides an alternative seating surface designed to reduce direct pressure on these sensitive areas while you continue with everyday activities.

Individual conditions and comfort requirements vary, so we recommend discussing the cushion with your physiotherapist or treating health professional when using it as part of injury rehabilitation or post-operative recovery.
