Sitting correctly with proper posture is a game-changer
How do you explain an experience like really sitting properly for the first time? It's almost as difficult as explaining a similar experience to someone who has never seen a sunset or smelled a flower for the first time. The Backjoy turns almost any sitting surface into a high-end ergonomic chair. What made me a full supporter of a support orthotic was a work environment that supplied me with one of the worst office chairs one could sit on. A few weeks in, I was experiencing some complicated issues that aligned with a family medical history problem. I made an appointment with the Dr who has treated the family members who went through this medical problem. Dr was booked, and the earliest appointment was two weeks away. During that time, I noticed at work, a co-worker who had the shift before me was googling driving cushions. I asked why, and he explained what he was going through; it was the same symptoms I had. We realized it wasn't the co-worker’s long drive or my family's medical history; it was the crappy office chair. I remember seeing commercials in the past for the Backjoy. I was always close to purchase, but this time, no hesitation. We each bought one. In 5 days, our issues were gone. A week later, I went to the doctor's appointment, nothing wrong. I asked the doctor whether it is possible a bad office chair could have caused my symptoms, and they said, in short, yes, that bad pressure on the tailbone and surrounding area could cause inflammation and fluid retention due to lack of blood flow. Ever since then, I have always had a Backjoy close by if needed. I started with the relief model with the Eva foam The core version hadn't been released yet. The waterproof covering was firm but giving, and was great in any environment, from outdoor to indoor. When released, I got the core version. It has a more cupping feel to it. In time, I found myself with one of each major model. Depending on the seating situation, I know I can adapt for the best support and comfort. The Lux and Tempur-Pedic models give the same support, but it’s like having a built-in fancy cushion that makes anywhere you sit with it feel like those over-plush leather couches or La-Z-Boy chairs where you sink in just enough. I’m excited to see the new 360 Max in the relief series. A guided lumbar support will really upgrade my seat game.
