Ergonomics is about furniture, the BodyBolster is about people
Many organizations have invested millions in fitting offices with ergonomic setups in order to manage ‘new age’ disorders born from poor posture. This is an excellent starting point, however, after only 20 minutes of sitting statically it is normal for people to slump in an attempt to get comfortable. This is because people need to vary their posture as well as get support. An ergonomic setup is only as effective as the behaviour/habits of the individual. It is true that we all need a good ergonomic chair, but by their very design most chairs keep bodies in a static position. This is counter effective and causes stiffness, pain and strain which over a period of time can lead to chronic conditions. This invariably, carries through to organizations’ bottom line.
Effective management of ‘human behaviour’ is key!
Flexibility and adjustability need to be ‘designed in’. Buying a good ergonomic chair may not bring the benefits expected. The actual sitting position depends on an individual's personal habits; he or she has to learn and practice how to sit properly. Occupational therapists and physiotherapists around the world prescribe the BodyBolster for this purpose.
When in place the BodyBolster aligns the body tilting the pelvis forward, elongating the neck and tucking the chin in, avoiding neck strain and tension across the shoulders. The key principle is to position it at different angles and inflation levels to get support where the individual needs it most. As you vary the sitting position you can reposition the BodyBolster to optimize its therapeutic benefits (low, mid, upper back, or vertically (along the back) or semi inflated (wedged at the tailbone). See examples to the right.
