Qi Orthopedic Pillow - Review

Did you know that according to the American Academy of Orthopedic Surgeons, 30% of American adults are afflicted by low back pain? That means out of every three people you know, one of them suffers from lower back pain. I am one of those three, and sitting down typing on a computer all day does not help. So when I was offered the opportunity to try the Qi Orthopedic Pillow, I couldn’t wait to see if it would help. The Qi Pillow, pronounced CHEE-pillow, may look like an ordinary throw pillow, but in fact it is an innovative orthopedic back support device. Designed and created by a Human Spinal Biomechanics researcher, author and lecturer, the Qi Pillow has been scientifically tested and proven to provide orthopedic back support for people of all shapes and sizes leading to the reduction and elimination of pain and fatigue in the lower back. In a third-party clinical study, the QiPillow was proven to help 91% of back pain sufferers relieve their back stiffness, pain and fatigue, and improve their sitting posture and comfort. Inside the Qi Pillow is an air-controlled core that uses the same technology as the Sleep Number Bed System. The user can easily adjust the amount of air inside the pillow by loosening the top valve and either adding or releasing air. No special tools are required, you simply give it a few puffs, it’s easier than inflating a balloon. The pillow works by providing dynamic tension when positioned against the small of the back and supporting the weight of your body. This helps maintain correct posture, relax muscles and make the body more comfortable, which in turn reduces and eliminates the pain and fatigue brought on from sitting for long periods of time. Other pillows only provide static tension, collapsing under your body weight, making you slouch and constantly having to adjust the pillow and your position. This keeps your muscles tight, tense and constantly moving which translates to fatigue and pain. I spend the majority of time typing while sitting on the couch in our den. While I know this is not the ideal working environment, it is what I have, and since I began using the Qi Pillow, I have noticed a marked improvement. I no longer slouch, nor am I constantly adjusting my position. The Qi Pillow has really helped to reduce and almost completely eliminate the pain in my lower back, and even in my neck and shoulders. While the Qi Pillow works wonders on my back pain, another bonus is that it looks nice. Anyone walking in and seeing the pillow would think it was a regular throw pillow. It measures around 18″ by 18″, and covered in soft, micro suede that is available in camel or sage. The outside cover is completely removable and machine washable. Order your Qi Pillow today and say goodbye to lower back pain. It is perfect for work and home, and its small size and light weight makes it ideal for use while traveling in a car, plane or train. The Qi Pillow is available through QVC and Amazon. Be sure to connect with the makers of the Qi Pillow on Facebook. I received one or more of the products mentioned above for free using Tomoson.com. Regardless, I only recommend products or services I use personally and believe will be good for my readers.
