Clinical Positioning & Biomechanical Benefits.
- Using the bolster under the knees in supine positions alleviates lumbar lordosis, reducing lower back strain for both patient and practitioner.
- Placement under the ankles in prone positions decreases tension in the posterior hamstrings and gastrocnemius muscles, aiding muscle relaxation and improving circulation.
- Positioning along the spine enhances thoracic extension while supporting scapular alignment, facilitating more effective manual therapy or massage techniques.
- Supporting the cervical region with this bolster maintains neutral neck alignment, minimizing undue pressure or discomfort and allowing unobstructed therapist access.

Frequently Asked Questions.
How does this bolster improve client positioning and therapist ergonomics?
The semi-round shape provides targeted support that reduces pressure on critical areas such as the lower back, ankles, and neck. This alignment facilitates easier application of deep pressure by the therapist without compensatory posture adjustments, decreasing practitioner fatigue.
What is the best way to clean and sanitize this bolster?
Wipe the Terra Touch vinyl surface with mild soap and warm water or use a specialized clinical disinfectant safe for polyurethane-based upholstery. Avoid alcohol-based cleaners to prevent premature vinyl degradation and cracking.
Where does this item ship from?

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.
