Staff Writer There is a reason you see so many bleacher cushions at sporting events nowadays. Those seats aren't just cheap because you have to squint to make out which player is which. Often the accommodations and materials used way up in the nosebleed section represent the least expensive engineering and construction the team owners could find. It hurts to sit the wrong way for too long. Pressure points can develop where our tailbone and thighs make contact with those unforgiving geometries, and poor balance can lead to neck and back strain. If left unaddressed, this kind of positioning can lead to lasting pain and the kind of stress injuries that often require medical intervention that can cost thousands. That's why you see so many people toting around cushions. Unfortunately, too many of these handy sitting supplements do little more than provide a pad that gives a nominal sort of comfort for an hour or so. After that, the materials compress and you are left with the very same problems of poor weight distribution and awkward angles. There are better ways to sit through a sporting event, and technology has unlocked some smarter approaches. Today a number of chiropractors recommend fluid-filled pads that allow your weight to migrate on a buoyant medium instead of a static surface. The best of these can provide you with proper posture and pain-free spectating for under 50 bucks. |
