Alcock rest with memory foam

Pudendal neuralgia is a neurological condition affecting the pudendal nerve, located in the deep pelvic region and through the pudendal canal. Often mistaken for gynecological or urological disorders, pudendal neuralgia or Pudendal Nerve Entrapment (PNE) can cause unbearable pain in various regions of the pelvis, such as pain in the anus, perineum, or genital area.

The pain associated with the pudendal nerve syndrome highly impacts daily life. For people suffering from pudendal neuralgia, even sitting down for a meal becomes difficult and painful.

To effectively address pudendal pain, our seating cushion for pudendalgia acts in several ways:

• Thick cushion: Alcock Rest cushion is thicker at the back than at the front. This difference in thickness aims to elevate the buttocks to open the pelvic and reduce compression of the abdomen.
• Pudendal neuralgia cushion with relief of the Alcock's canal: Alcock Rest cushion integrates a cut out designed on our 10-year experience with people suffering from pudendal nerve entrapment syndrome. Alcock Rest cushion provides relief to the entire area from the sacrum to the perineum, which could otherwise affects the pudendal nerve.
• High Viscosity Fluid Technology: In addition to reducing pressure when sitting, the fluid pouches in our pudendal nerve cushion absorb shocks and vibrations that can exacerbate pain while driving.

Our Alcock Rest pudendal cushion is available in two versions:

• With High-Viscosity fluid
• With memory foam

Both versions share the same offloading shape that runs from the sacrum to the perineum. This design helps relieve pressure on the Alcock canal, through which the pudendal nerve passes.

The first version of our pudendal cushion combines High-Viscosity fluid with High-Resilience foam for optimal shock and micro-vibration absorption—especially useful when driving. The fluid moves with your body weight and natural motion, supporting movement and reducing pressure on the four fluid pockets.

In this new version of the Alcock Rest cushion, the High-Viscosity fluid pockets are replaced by a full top layer of memory foam. This memory foam helps reduce pressure across all support zones (buttocks and thighs), making it ideal for those with muscular sensitivity or strain. We recommend the memory foam version if your pudendal neuralgia is triggered or worsened by myofascial syndrome or piriformis syndrome, for example.
