Oakworks 8-Inch Round Bolster: Professional Clinical Workflow.
The Oakworks 8-Inch Round Bolster is engineered for clinical environments requiring robust positioning support. As the manufacturer’s largest round bolster, it facilitates accurate and stable patient placement, optimizing session efficiency and supporting targeted therapeutic interventions. Investing in this bolster supports patient comfort and practitioner effectiveness during treatment.
This bolster serves as a foundational tool in clinical positioning strategies. Its dimensions and firmness assist in reducing lumbar lordosis and spinal pressure when placed under the knees. This specific configuration helps maintain natural spinal alignment, which aids in minimizing compensatory muscle activity and promotes relaxation for better procedural outcomes.
Clinical Positioning & Biomechanical Benefits.
Placed under the knees in supine position: reduces lumbar lordosis by supporting natural spinal curvature, decreasing lower back strain.
Used in prone positioning to elevate ankles: relieves tension in hamstrings and calf muscles, improving patient comfort.
Positioned laterally against the torso: supports scapular or pelvic alignment, aiding in muscle relaxation and improved therapist access.
Serves as arm support: alleviates shoulder strain by maintaining neutral upper limb positioning during treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How does this bolster improve client positioning and therapist ergonomics?
The Oakworks 8-Inch Round Bolster helps relieve pressure points by supporting key anatomical regions such as the knees, ankles, and torso. When correctly positioned, it reduces lumbar strain on patients, allowing therapists to apply deeper pressure safely without compromising their own posture or risking injury.
What is the best way to clean and sanitize this bolster?
Clean the Terra Touch vinyl surface by wiping it with mild soap and warm water or a hospital-approved, non-alcohol disinfectant. This maintains the integrity of the upholstery, preventing drying or cracking over time while ensuring clinical hygiene standards are met.
Where does this item ship from?
This item ships directly from Oakworks’ manufacturing facility in Pennsylvania or from our Eatontown, New Jersey distribution center depending 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.
