Having an ergonomic office is a great starting point for people who sit at a esk. 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. Static sitting positions are unnatural and cause stiffness, pain and strain.
Occupational therapists and physiotherapists prescribe the BodyBolster for people that have low back problems, upper back pain, neck pain and even shoulder pain or headaches. As an 'active' postural support, the BodyBolster aligns your body tilting your pelvis forward, elongating the neck and tucking the chin in, voiding neck strain and tension across the shoulders. The key principle is to position it at different angles and inflation levels to get support where you need it ,as you vary your sitting position (low, mid, upper back, or vertically (along the back) or semi inflated wedged at the tailbone)

When you place the BodyBolster between you and the chair, you will be able to rock slightly. These gentle small movements are the beginning of a new way of sitting.
The BodyBolster’s unique texture is designed to give gentle feedback to your nervous system to invite a sense of letting go—allowing movement rather than forcing it. The idea of heightened sensory awareness is based on mind-body principles of learning such as Pilates, Yoga and Feldenkrais. The BodyBolster™ system allows you to stretch, strengthen and condition - even as you sit.

The BodyBolster gives a unique combination of firmness and flexibility. The firmness supports while the springiness encourages mobility. This promotes micro joint movement, allowing nutrients to flow through the spine, significantly reducing calcification.
