Clinical Positioning & Biomechanical Benefits.
- Use under knees in supine position to alleviate lumbar lordosis and reduce lower back strain.
- Placement beneath ankles in prone position relaxes hamstring tension and prevents foot drop by supporting plantarflexion.
- Positioning under the thoracic spine enhances chest elevation, promoting better respiratory expansion during treatment.
- Support for neck flexion or lateral head placement aids in maintaining cervical alignment without compromising spinal neutrality.
- Wide 8" width allows use with larger body types or multiple points of contact for more versatile patient positioning.
- Half-round shape accommodates varied anatomical contours, improving patient comfort while allowing unobstructed therapist access.

Where does this item ship from?
This item ships directly from Oakworks’ Pennsylvania factory or our Eatontown, New Jersey warehouse based on stock availability.
Typical shipping times: Most supplies and accessories and on-the-shelf items typically are shipped out within 1 to 2 business days, barring unforeseen backorders. If you’ve also ordered items that are "built to order" such as some customized tables they typically ship from the manufacturer's warehouse within 7 to 14 business days or longer for larger stationary or lift tables. If you’ve ordered multiple items from multiple brands then you’ll probably receive multiple box shipments that arrive on different days. Weather and backorders will increase these estimates.
