Pressure ulcers and sores are caused when the skin and underlying tissues are starved of oxygen. especially with boney parts of our body (elbows, the posterior, heels, and even the back of the head), it’s easier for blood flow to decrease to those areas when we’re in the same position for several hours every day.
when the blood flow decreases, less oxygen reaches our skin cells. this means that the skin cells begin to die and pressure sores form in their place.
