Could an old surgical scar be contributing to your back pain?

Have you run out of options trying to resolve chronic or recurring back pain?

Do you keep going back for treatment because, even though you’re doing the stretches and exercises, the pain keeps returning?

If you’ve ever had surgery, no matter how long ago it was, it may be worth considering whether the resulting scar and restrictions could be another avenue to explore.

In our latest blog, I share the story of a client whose back pain was linked to a small appendix scar from around 40 years earlier. Once we worked with the restrictions around the scar, her back pain resolved and hasn’t returned.

Scars, both old and new, can sometimes create restrictions and compensation patterns elsewhere in the body. Yet they’re often overlooked when trying to understand why pain keeps coming back.

Could yours be a missing piece of the puzzle?

When you keep hearing the same issue from clients with back pain, you want to find a solution.

For us, that resulted in a 6-year journey we never imagined we’d find ourselves on.

People kept telling us their sofa was uncomfortable or aggravating their back pain. So we began looking into why, toured rather a lot of sofa shops and eventually decided we'd just design a better one ourselves.

Slight problem. We couldn't afford to. 😅

So we put our thinking caps on and started looking at what we could do instead.

What followed involved a lot of experimenting, numerous prototypes, a bit of papier mâché and a chance conversation that helped turn an idea into the Sittingwell® Cushion we have today.

As it turned out, what we created was far more adaptable than the sofa we’d originally imagined.

You can read the full story of how it came about in our blog:

We love hearing the stories behind our customer reviews.

This one is a great example of something people easily end up putting up with simply because they don't realise there might be product that could help.

Even a sofa or armchair that was once really comfortable can become less supportive as the cushions soften over time.

Or perhaps that lovely soft sofa felt incredibly cosy in the showroom, but after living with it for a while you've discovered that sinking into it is one thing, getting back out again is quite another.

The Sittingwell® Cushion isn't only used by people with back pain. Its hidden support can also help give an older sofa or armchair a new lease of life, or provide more support when your furniture is simply too soft or deep for you.

We were really pleased to hear the difference it made for P. Hill, particularly being able to stand more easily after sitting.

Who do you know who always struggles to get up after spending time on the sofa?

Maybe a little more support is what they've been missing.

We never set out to be inventors.

The Sittingwell® Cushion wasn't created by a product development business, or even ergonomic furniture designers.

It was created by two women who saw a need and wanted to do something about it.

We thought you might like to learn a little more about who we are, why we ended up creating the Sittingwell® Cushion and what we get up to outside of work.

Did you see the solar eclipse?

Back in 1999 Rachael and I were both very underwhelmed by the eclipse. We thought it would go fully dark rather than a bit dusky and I certainly didn't see much through my pinhole camera.

With that experience we weren't too concerned about seeing the eclipse yesterday until we opened our Octopus Energy e-mail which included details of their competition. 🐙

Oooooh now this sounds interesting.

What started out as, "how can we make a pinhole camera and watch the eclipse inside a box?", morphed into "oooh, we can make an octopus, hang on, two octopuses meeting under the half light of the solar eclipse and finding love." 🐙💜😃

Creativity is so healing as well as embracing our childlike side and having fun.

Yesterday we certainly did that.

It was great fun putting it all together, but also made for a much more memorable experience seeing lots of mini eclipses creating the shape of a couple of Octopuses and watching the change as the eclipse occurred.

How did you all do during the solar eclipse?

Do share some images if you have any.

Your sofa might feel comfy, but is it actually supporting you?

One of the problems with deep, soft sofas is that they can make it very easy to collapse backwards and lose the natural curves of your spine.

It might not feel like much at the time, but the way we sit day after day can gradually increase the strain on the muscles, joints, ligaments and discs of the back.

And that’s really the point. Good posture isn’t about sitting bolt upright or being rigid. It’s about giving your spine the support it needs while you relax.

We’ve explained a bit more about why posture matters, what happens when we slouch and how better support can help in our blog - What Is So Important About Posture Anyway?

When a slipped disc isn’t healing as expected, it can be frustrating and exhausting, especially when you’ve followed the usual advice but the pain won't go away.

Our latest blog on the It’s All About Health website looks at what a slipped disc actually is, why symptoms can sometimes persist and what else may be worth exploring when the usual treatments aren’t giving you the progress you hoped for.

It also shares practical ways to support your body through the healing process and considers how different parts of the body can influence recovery, rather than looking at the painful area in isolation.

We thought it may be a helpful read for some of our Sittingwell® followers too.

"I absolutely love my Sittingwell Cushion."

It's so lovely to hear from happy customers, so to get this 5 star google review this week made our day.

Here's the full review:

"I absolutely love my Sittingwell Cushion.

I used to get lower back pain after sitting on the sofa, but this has made such a difference! It really helps my posture, I feel totally supported and It's so comfortable, I wouldn't be without it now.

It fits perfectly snuggly inside my cushion cover so it even looks great and doesn't look like an orthopedic cushion. I just have to stop the husband from stealing it now. 100% recommend... I love it!"

We love the cover they chose to put in it too. The Giraffe loos like they are finding it comfortable too. 🦒😍

We're back after an action packed holiday in Iceland.

We were lucky enough to win 40% off our holiday thanks to

It was one of those "sign up to our newsletter and be in with a chance of winning a holiday...."

"...Yeah, why not?" moments.

It was a bit of a shock when I received the call, and the timing couldn't have been better. What a lovely way to prolong Rachael's 50th birthday celebrations.

It didn't take Lorna and me long to settle on Iceland as our chosen destination. We picked what is considered one of their best weather months, and these are words we never thought we'd utter.....we were glad to get away from the heat of the UK 😲

We saw the forecast of 'real feel 3 degrees' and laughed about the fact that we wouldn't need our sunscreen, before we went away..... so to experience 20 degrees+ on some days was a little unexpected.

In true Morecombe and Wise style we had all the right clothes but wore them in the wrong order with the glacier walk being the warmest day 🤪

Geysers, waterfalls aplenty, a glacier walk, the obligatory Blue Lagoon experience, icebergs and puffins (ahhhhhh... they're adorable! 🤩).

Just one spectacular sight after another.

We packed so much into the week that it feels like we've been away for much longer in a good way. Lorna Kennard-Wall 🦋 and myself both feel rejuvenated, refreshed and raring to go.

When we invented the Sittingwell® back support cushion we knew we wanted it to be made in the UK.

We were lucky to find two companies close to our old clinic who could do what was needed.

So when one of them stopped we had to stop production.

The hunt for a new maker hit dead end after dead end. At one point we started to look overseas.

So, we were really pleased when a chance conversation led us to a company that could make them right on our doorstep in our new Somerset location.

Suttons are just down the road from our clinic, about 10 minutes in the car.

This means you know that every cushion is supporting a British business (Even the care labels are from a South-West supplier).

And the miles from manufacturer to posting them out to you is minimal. At the moment, we walk them the mile down the road to the local post office ourselves.

As we grow, we promise to keep our carbon footprint down, even though our foot step will remain the same.
