Dear Dr Sood & list members
I recently successfully treated one such patient with PA mobilisations,
pelvic floor/TA exercises and seating advise. Although this is getting away
from the question posed I was wondering was it still current practice
(evidence based) to recommend inflated rings/cushions for these patients
whilst sitting.
I was told by a senior physio that these were no longer recommended as they
had an adverse effect on blood flow to the area and thus reduced healing
rates. ( she did not state the source of her evidence)
