Chairs Don't Work
"All my life my legs have been banged up by chairs that I've designed"
- Frank Lloyd Wright
Slouching is a universal back problem that can lead to permanent and painful
deformations of the spine. Not only do chairs NOT solve this problem, most often
they make it worse! Why? Chairs are passive mechanisms that cannot provide
adequate support at the low back where it is essential for healthy, comfortable
and upright posture.
Still have Questions?
Will
the Nada-Chair products cut off the circulation to my legs?
No, the circulation for the legs passes behind the knee. The pressure of the
straps is placed on the shinbone that is designed to absorb pressure without
cutting off your circulation. However, it is important to remember that the
circulation in the legs is greatly enhanced by movement. Thus, even though the
back slings make it comfortable to site for much longer periods, we generally
recommend you move your legs and stretch them occasionally.
How long is it recommended to wear the
Nada-Chair slings?
With sensible breaks, the slings can be safely worn all day. While most report
immediate and complete relief from back pain due to slouching, support benefits
will continue as long as you wear the sling. As with any new product, you will
need to experiment making optimal adjustments to allow the longest, most
comfortable sitting period.
The LumbarJack is the only product we recommend using while driving. Elastic straps detour around the knees and engage the feet to allow complete flexibility and mobility of the legs for working the pedals. With accessory straps, the LumbarJack conveniently converts to a comfortable sitting support using only the knees.
How do I know when I have adjusted the sling
properly?
Like a good fitting pair of shoes, the Nada-Chair back slings should fit snugly
but not too tightly. Much of the adjustment is self-corrective. If you feel
uncomfortable over time, simply loosen the straps slightly. The goal is to keep
the low back supported just enough to prevent the sagging that leads to back
pain. It is recommended to vary the support by alternatively tightening and
loosening the straps when you are sitting for longer periods.
How high should the back pad be on my back?
The back pad should span the lumbar spine with the back cushion approximately
centered on the belt line. Experiment until you find the most comfortable
position for you.
Will the LumbarJack interfere with my legs while driving?
The LumbarJack is the
only product we recommend using while driving.
Elastic straps detour around the knees and engage the feet to allow complete
flexibility and mobility of the legs for working the pedals. With accessory
straps, the LumbarJack conveniently converts to a comfortable sitting support
using only the knees.
No. A study of users tested in critical movements such as braking and clutching proved that the LumbarJack does not slow the user. Copies of this study are available upon request.
Will use of the Nada-Chair slings weaken my
back muscles over time?
Experience shows just the opposite. Doctors internationally are using the back
slings to teach their patients to sit straight. Once trained in new habits of
good posture, users find it easier to sit properly without the supports.
Primarily, the back-sling acts as a guard against slouching and disc damage
because it works like an extra muscle to keep the back supported. Unfortunately,
the major contributor to back disease and weakness is the common office chair
that provides only the illusion of support while causing the user to slouch
against the backrest.
Will the Nada-Chair supports improve the health
of my back?
Absolutely! By keeping you from slouching, the back slings can actually prevent
progressive spinal deformation and disc degeneration. It is critical to the
long-term health of your back that the alignment of the vertebrae be maintained
with the natural curves in the back.
Can I use the back slings in an airline, soft
chair or couch?
Yes, the Nada-Chair slings will effectively improve your posture in any chair.
The back-sling provides the additional lumbar support that most seat backs lack.
When using the sling to augment an existing back support, it isn't necessary to
tighten the straps as much as when you are depending on the sling for full
support.
Can I use the Nada-Chair products while wearing
a dress?
Simply tuck the dress or skirt down enough to allow the straps to engage the
knees.

Dear Mr. Toso:
As you know, I have been interested in your Nada-Chair Back-Up for the past five
years and recommend it regularly for patients with simple and complicated spinal
problems. We use the Back-Up in our back care and stabilization education
classes. Not only does it help us in teaching patients proper posture and
alignment, it helps patients with “experiencing” correct posture while sitting.
The Nada-Chair Back-Up is an ideal product for individuals with back pain as it
supports the spine in an aligned position, relieving the pressure placed on the
lumbar spine. This allows individuals to sit comfortably for long periods of
time --
an activity that can be virtually impossible for back pain patients who have not
had an opportunity to train properly or gain the appropriate strength necessary
to
support their spine in routine daily activities.
Being a long-range back pain sufferer, I am acutely aware of the importance of
upper torso strength and good low back support while sitting. I personally find
the Nada-Chair Back-Up one of the most comfortable back supports available and
am particularly pleased with its portability. Most of us cannot take our
ergonomically designed office chairs with us everywhere we travel, so the
Back-Up offers a supported-sitting alternative.
I wholeheartedly endorse the use of the Nada-Chair Back-Up for patients and
individuals who wish to prevent back pain.
Sincerely,
AHW:hmn
