6 I like that it looks fun too. It obviously improves posture, it s easy to adjust the intensity and the seat is comfortable. Back App should be standard in all workplaces. We would then have a much lower absenteeism and save a lot of money for society. In addition, we would have a healthier population. Fine chair and fine design It s great that you can adjust the level of balance training freely. It s used mainly by my 89 year old mother-in-law who likes to sit on the balance chair when she irons our clothes, and this she does many hours per week. I have bought Back App to several of our employees. They are all very happy with the chair and get effective help for their back pains. I adjust my chair often so it becomes more and more instable. I ve noticed that specifically the stomach and back muscles are working almost continuously. I believe that the use of the chair will enhance each user s core muscles in the long run. Best chair purchase I ve made, EVER!!! I m glad we have something called product development so that chairs like Back App exist. I m delighted. My kids also. : ) When I m not usingmy Back App they throw themselves over it. Smart, if you think about prevention. A good thing that s also fun, providing support and strength. I really enjoy my Back App. It s simply a great chair. I cannot sit on a regular chair now I have my Back App, the pains return after five minutes. I m so glad I have Back App. Unique and simple solution I m very happy. I can move even though I m sitting, which is in any case important for me who suffers with back pain.

9 When you are sitting on Back App you train and strengthen the muscles that support the spine. You get stronger and your body functions properly. To optimize the stabilizing of the spine relative to the pelvis, interaction between the lower abdominal muscles, the deep spine muscles and the pelvis muscles (parts of the spinal balance system) is needed. These form a natural corset and help to create pressure inside the abdomen that further supports the back. In preventive training of the back or after a spinal injury we want to stimulate the spinal balance system. The reactive and stabilizing capacity of the muscles are essential to prevent stress or damage on the fragile structures of the back. The Back App chair has been constructed with this in mind. These balance systems will be optimally challenged on a daily basis. Weather in a job situation or in relaxation, sitting on the Back App will constantly stimulate your back to increase your balance ability. The Back App has a springy function in the seat stem and a damping material in the seat, which together make it gentle towards the pelvis and lower back. Sitting on Back App, your feet are not fixed to the floor and the chair tilts gently around a central axis when you move. This concentrates the balance resistance to exactly where we want it the lower spine. This type of challenge on the backs balance system is a development built on principles from among other things, large Australian studies that have documented positive effects on the backs stabilizing muscles. When sitting on Back App, your position is higher than on ordinary chairs. Partly because your feet are on the footplate but mainly because your back is straight and your hip angle is more than 90. If the tabletop is too low, you will bend your neck and impair your sitting position. A height adjustable tabletop is a necessity when you sit on Back App. You might not need to adjust the whole table; the workspace by the computer is the critical area. Back App exercises your back muscles while sitting. This may tire your back. We recommend sitting for approximately an hour a day at first. After a few days you can gradually increase your time sitting on Back App. After a period of training you can without difficulty sit on Back App all day. To adjust the level of balance resistance, turn the red ball up or down. Start with the ball in green position and increase gradually to red.

10 Revolution at the workplace. The human body is developed and adapted for work and movement. We still work, but are we still moving? Today, the computer accommodates for most things, at an arms length. Comfortably and rationally. But comfort has a downside, pain in the back, neck and hip. Active workplaces The active workplace, with height adjustable desks at the forefront, is already a reality. Many businesses do what they can to keep their employees on the go. The problem is that the active workplace does not prevent afflictions, it just postpones them. The activating workplace The activating workplace today is mainly about chairs. About chairs that prevent aches and pains in the neck, back and hip. Only Back App exercises the muscles that support your back while sitting. Instead of sitting with your feet on the floor to counteracting the body s movements, you sit with them on the support ring and capture the motion with your back muscles. A stronger back through sitting, it s that simple.

12 Back App represents a further development of an idea which has previously been presented by other manufacturers. The chair caters for the user s need to sit correctly while at the same time training important back muscles. The chair s tipping movement is both comfortable and smooth. The foot ring provides good shock absorbency and a feeling that one is sitting securely and very comfortably. The innovative part of this product lies primarily in the ball under the chair itself, which not only ensures a correct sitting position, but also helps actively train the user s back muscles. A lot of thought has been given to this product. From the jury s verdict.
