    I was looking into finding some of that gel. Maybe a piece people use for placing their wrists on for the keyboard.
    Which is not good because if you have things at the correct height, you won't have a problem... that's another story though. :)
    It's inexpensive, and should adjust to the elbow easily.

    once a day, i sit in the edge of the bed and bend my head down an to the left as far as i can go. i do this 3 times for 30 seconds each. the third time, i use my hand to pull my head down. then i great on the right side.

    next, i tip my head to the left and right as far as i can, 3x30 seconds each.

    then i turn my head to the left and right, as far as possible, 3x30 seconds each.

    then i do full rotations 5 x each way.

    then i lay on my back and do 10 chin tucks with my head on a pillow, stretching the back of my neck.

    then i stand with my back to the wall, and use a tennis ball to massage between my shoulder blades.

    They would have to custom make it but I can offer my armrest as a template. It will add 1-1/8” to the arm rest thickness. Is anyone interested in this? I’ve already contacted them.

    They don't list the Prius. I could buy some foam and fabric and sew the foam inside. :)

    I run 80 miles a month. Strengthens back, neck, legs and everything that has a forward and back repetition motion.

    I know the dont lost the Prius. I contacted them and they said I could send in my armrest as a template. It's pretty difficult to add foam support and re wrap in leather nice and tight for a clean look.

    mmm Perhaps I misread or missaw something. :) I guess they replace the original one with theirs?
    Mine are cloth. Leather is TOO hot!
