BackJoy rewrites the prescription for back pain relief by recognizing the 60 year-old theories for back pain relief while sitting are ineffective.

BackJoy is completely unique in every sense of the word. BackJoy is The Back Orthotic because it is the only medical device that conforms to the individual user to provide a unique lordotic curve for each user. BackJoy’s Auto-Forming Action™ induces the loose pack and pelvic neutral position and restricts the spreading of the gluteus muscles to provide support and control. No other device can do these things. BackJoy adapts to the individual user and their unique form of back pain; this is why BackJoy is known as The Back Orthotic™.

Sitting is not good for your back, and since people started sitting down there has been an effort to provide more comfort when doing so, especially with the advent of flexible, ergonomic seats. Today, more and more people are sitting down for longer periods of time than ever. However, the number of people who develop back pain continues to rise, almost exponentially.

While the art and science of designing body supporting chairs and devices has become very sophisticated, these designs allow the device to conform to the user’s body, as opposed to moving the user’s body into the best possible sitting position. These flexible, conforming, comfortable, ergonomic seating devices are certainly an improvement over hard wooden or resilient seating surfaces, but the number of back injuries continues to grow. As an important aside, you should know that using BackJoy on a specifically designed ergonomic office chair will transform that chair into an orthopedic chair.

What is the "Old" Way of Back Pain Relief?

For years, our competitors have relied on an ineffective solution; The S-Curve
Basically every device and chair now available is based on the idea that getting your back to be in the shape of an elongated S, thought to be the best way to alleviate pressure and pain. A chief goal of the S-curve is to remove pressure from the ischial tuberosities, and transfer this pressure to the underside of the thighs. Unfortunately, sitting in the S-curve position allows for a condition known as gluteal spreading, or what is commonly known as “secretarial spread”. This spreading of the buttocks transfers pressure to the spine and the pelvis, which is as bad a condition for your back as is incorrect posture.

So no matter how comfortable an ergonomic seating device is, continuous sitting in the “S-curve” position will for most people create repetitive stress injuries to the back; the very thing these devices promised to fix or avoid.

What makes BackJoy Better at Delivering Back Pain Relief?

BackJoy allows your spine to rest in the Loose Pack & Pelvic Neutral position.
Instead of forcing a spine into the S-curve, BackJoy’s Auto-Forming Action™ promotes what is known as the loose pack position. Today, orthopedists and physical therapists widely accept the loose pack position as being the correct lordotic curve for a seated individual.

The loose pack position describes an individual’s spine when it is in its most preferred position, where the vertebrae are stacked over one another with the least pressure and the least need for muscles to correct a sitting position. This position can only be achieved with the Auto-Forming Action™ of BackJoy, which tilts the pelvis forward into a pelvic neutral position, and allows the spine to follow the direction of the pelvis until the spine is stopped naturally by its own ligament and muscle groups.

For 60 years, back pain sufferers have been expected to try and mold themselves into an S-curve position. Yet everyone’s spine is different, and thus every person has a different position of ultimate comfort. BackJoy’s patented Auto-Forming Action™ allows each user to find their individually unique loose pack and pelvic neutral position instead of conforming to an ineffective S-curve. This is why BackJoy is The Back Orthotic, and its why BackJoy can provide the best results.

What Makes BackJoy the Most Effective Back Pain Relief Solution?

BackJoy relieves more muscular tension that any other sitting device or cushion available.
With regard to “secretarial spread”, BackJoy is the only device engineered to cup the gluteus muscles and eliminate spreading. Gluteal spreading, or flexion, creates a trigger response of the saccro-coccygeal ligaments which creates uneven pressure on the pelvic ligaments. This spreading condition leads to repetitive stress injuries in the pelvic ligaments, sacro-coccygeal ligaments, and hip joints. BackJoy’s Auto-Forming Action™ holds these muscles in their “slack” position, by “cupping” them, which eliminates the trigger response of tightening. BackJoy, The Back Orthotic is the only device that can provide this potent combination of correcting postural alignment and restriction of gluteal spreading.

…There are even more benefits to using BackJoy:
There are even greater benefits to the cupping mechanism of BackJoy’s patented Auto-Forming Action™ that no other product can provide:

• As upper body weight is shifted from the spine’s joints and ligaments onto the ischial tuberosities, the cupped muscle tissue retains a constant padding of muscle under these weight bearing bones. This reduces the amount of pressure on these skeletal pressure points, and provides cushioned support while releasing unnecessary tensions in the lower and middle back.
• The pelvis is suspended, cradled in a dome of muscle tissue, which allows the six components of the pelvis to act as one unit in a free environment. This reduces the wear and tear of the joints surrounding the sacrum, and allows the pumping action of the sacrum to function properly. This pumping action creates the pressure that allows spinal fluid to be properly circulated through the spinal column. Not only will this reduce stress and fatigue, but it also allows for greater focus and attention for longer periods of time. No other product can deliver this type of result.

BackJoy is Battle Tested, Comfortable, and Functional.

BackJoy helps relieve back pain by utilizing high-tech materials with specific properties that allow it to be flexible enough to conform to the individual yet still sustain a strict shape-memory while remaining functional and comfortable at the same time. The materials used to create BackJoy are:

Battle Tested
BackJoy is made from a copolymer polypropylene plastic, which was specially formulated for the aerospace industry. In fact, this polymer was created to replace metal 30mm anti-tank ammunition belts in the Northrop A-10 “Warthog”. This is demonstrative of just how tough the material is; the plastic was required to have a characteristic of “super-memory” along with incredible flexibility, so its shape could be retained in the torment of heat and pressure of the constant explosions occurring when each round is fired. While the pressures of daily sitting will never be as extreme as the pressures an ammunition belt is forced to endure, BackJoy must maintain its shape and durability in order to deliver consistent, pain relieving results. This material enables the patented Auto-Forming Action™ to work under conditions of up to 135,000psi. It is designed to bounce back to shape, day after day, user after user.

Comfortable
The same open cell urethane foam that is used in the finest running shoes is used to provide an extra layer of comfort. This advanced foam has the characteristics of being able to mold with the individual’s shape so BackJoy will always be a pleasure to sit on, everyday, and it does not restrict the functionality of BackJoy’s shape and design.

BackJoy’s design includes ventilation air flow holes spread over the majority of its surface, so your seat will remain cool even in the middle of summer.

Functional
BackJoy is covered by a bi-directional, easy-to-clean, brushed poly-fiber fabric. This particular fabric has a specific stretch coefficient that does not inhibit the flexural characteristics of the plastic foundation as well as allowing for proper ventilation. The backing is made from an acrylic acetate.
