WHAT IS A HAPPY PSOAS INTERACTIVE CUSHION?
Happy Psoas invented a small inflatable Interactive cushion that you can carry around with you. The Happy Psoas Cushion was designed to keep your body moving while you sit working with your own body weight and air.
Here is a video to introduce the Happy Psoas Product.

WHAT ARE PSOAS AND HOW DO YOU PRONOUNCE IT?
Psoas is a muscle group. Pronounced (“SO-as”). Most people have never heard of their Psoas. These are the two large muscles connecting your lower back to your thighs running through your abdomen and pelvis. Arguably the most important muscles to keep your body upright and allow you to run, walk or climb stairs. The Psoas muscles are there for flexibility and movement of the hips, legs, pelvis and back. Together with you core muscles the Psoas help stabilize your spine.
HOW/WHY DOES THE HAPPY PSOAS CUSHION WORK?
The Happy Psoas cushion allows your body to move while you sit. It’s been designed to expand or if you sit on it and move from side to side or even front to back because it’s inflated slightly with air. It’s common knowledge that sitting for too long can have unwanted effects on your body, like weakening muscles and reduce blood circulation.
Your body shifts its weight thousands of times per day, even while you are sitting. This cushion responds to that movement and your body’s natural instinct is to engage your psoas muscles to keep you from falling over. Essentially you are exercising your psoas muscles all day while you sit on the Happy Psoas cushion.
Here is a video that explains more about how the happy Psoas Cushion works.
WOULD THE HAPPY PSOAS CUSHION WORK FOR ME?
The benefits we have seen people experience from sitting on a Happy Psoas cushion are:
When your psoas muscles are activated you are no longer putting all weight the pressure on your lower back vertebrae.
When your body is moving while you are sitting you are also experiencing better blood circulation overall.
When you sit on the Happy Psoas cushion your body moves and therefore is not pinching any sciatic nerves, therefore people who suffer from Sciatica might have less pain and be relieved from this condition.
When you are sitting on the Happy Psoas cushion you would most likely be moving more and lubricating your hip joints.
When you are sitting on the Happy Psoas cushion your muscles would most likely not be tight when you stand after sitting and this might alleviate pain when you stand up and walk.
When you sit on the Happy Psoas cushion you might have less pressure on your tailbone and therefore most likely less pain.
If you use a wheelchair and sit all the time, the Happy Psoas cushion could bring you relief in the sense of body movement and some exercise.
HOW DO I USE THE HAPPY PSOAS CUSHION? (INSTRUCTIONS)
Instructions for use:
Open packaging
check for non-tampered sticker and original Happy Psoas Logo
Unfold Cushion
Take the folded Happy Psoas interactive cushion from the packaging and unfold to flat.
Inflate Cushion
Find the nozzle on the back part on the cushion. Close the first part of the valve (this is the non-return part which you have to remove when you want to deflate the cushion again). Now you can inflate the cushion by blowing it up with air from mouth or use and air pump. Start with only one puff -inspect and the maybe another if needed. Inflate the happy psoas cushion precisely as per the inflation level diagram guide. (see below)
Position Cushion
Close the final part of the valve when the cushion is inflated to the desired level. Turn the valve to the bottom so it does not hook onto clothing and deflate unintentionally. Place cushion with the narrow point towards the front of the chair where your legs would be. The back of the cushion is the wider section with the two round shapes, this should be closest to the back of the chair, where your back would rest against.
Sit on Cushion
Sit as normal when comfortable for yourself and your body. Adjust pressure as desire by opening valve parts and closing to inflate and deflate.
Deflate Cushion
Open the first or largest valve to deflate cushion and fold it lightly to carry with you to your next seat.
Important Notes
Consult your doctor before using any device when you might suspect you have a back or hip problem or any medical condition. This product does not replace any prescribed treatment and is not meant to treat any medical condition.

HOW DOES HAPPY PSOAS COMPARE TO A STANDING DESK OR AN EXPENSIVE ORTHOPEDIC CHAIR?
Standing Desks are very expensive and so is Orthopedic chairs. Happy Psoas is a very affordable option in comparison to both. It’s not always possible to stand especially in meetings. It’s also not possible to take your expensive chair with you into meetings therefore, the Happy Psoas cushion still out performs both these options because you can deflate and carry it with you, sit in meetings and your body is constantly moving.
SHOULD I ASK MY DOCTOR’S OPINION?
Yes, you should always consult your doctor or therapist first before using any gym equipment or medical device especially when you have a medical condition. We strongly recommend that you discuss the Happy Psoas cushion with your Medical Practitioner before you use it. This Happy Psoas Interactive Cushion was designed to keep your body moving while you sit and not to treat any medical condition.
