Alcock rest

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 pudendal nerve cushion consists of foams and four fluid pouches. This fluid is not affected by temperature changes and can be used to relieve pain through cold therapy: Remove the cover, take out the fluid pouches and place them in the freezer for a few hours before placing them back into the cushion. The fluid turns white but does not solidify; it returns to its translucent state at room temperature.

We recommend purchasing an additional set of fluid pouches along with the cushion to ensure there is always a set of pouches in place in the cushion while the other set is cooling down in the freezer. The fluid pouches can also be detached and moved to adapt to your pressure points while sitting.
