Oakworks Butterfly Cushion User Manual

When folded as shown (Fig 8)
you can create a gentle stretch
as you support the client’s head.
The bladders are located on
either side of the neck (Fig 9);
this creates a gentle stretch that
can also be applied asymmetrically
by pumping one side up more
than the other

If you fold the ButterflyCushion

™

in half

(Fig.3) you can locate it under the pelvis (Fig
4) to offer support. Start with the cushion
almost completely deflated and slowly pump
it up until your client is comfortable.

Lumbar Support:

The ButterflyCushion

™

allows you to create just the right amount of cervical

flexion for maximum comfort when folded and placed under the neck as
shown. (Fig. 7)

Lay the ButterflyCushion

™

flat under the

client’s back, with the larger section in
the lumbar area and the smaller section
mid-back. (Fig. 5) As always, start with
the cushion almost completely empty.
Inflate the lumbar section first and inflate
the other section to create more support
for the middle back as the lumbar area
rises. Small amounts of inflation can
offer greater comfort for clients (Fig. 6),
higher inflation levels can create a stretch
in the lumbar area.
