Get Fit While You Sit With BackJoy

BackJoy is a product that I have discovered that will get you fit while you sit.  Backjoy gives your tushy and back some love it needs for good posture and good health.  How is this possible?  Read on.

When you wake up the first thing you do is sit.  When you get up from bed the next thing you go to is the toilet and sit.   Then you take breakfast, you sit.  Then you get dressed go to work drive or commute, you sit.  Then arriving at work you sit.  Then you go have lunch and you sit.  Then going home or to meet up friends watch movie or eat out for dinner, you sit.  Then you go home to relax you watch TV or log-in your Facebook you sit.

I didn’t realize this until Dr. Barry Kluner, licensed Chiropactor from Canada and practicing in Malaysia since 2011, pointed this out at an intimate press launch of BackJoy held at the Rockwell Club yesterday.  We sit more than half of our lives and our unhealthy sitting position contributes a lot to our health and wellness.

Remember when our mom nags us about sitting up straight or your high school teacher calls you out when you slouch?  You should have listened.   It is not just for maintaining good posture but you might be doing more damage to your back with your unhealthy sitting posture.

I’m sure most of you complained about back pains or “ngawit” when we sit too long.  Our buttocks hurt, our back hurts, we experience neck strain and all sorts of  uncomfortable feelings caused by sitting too long.  It is not actually because we sat too long but we sat  in a wrong way that put strain on our backs.

Our unhealthy sitting position, such as slouching,  has been linked to several psychological problems including pressure on the spiral nerves and disks – and this is something we should take seriously.  And yes this makes our tummy fat and humps on our backs!

BackJoy is a class 1 medical device that shifts the user’s center of gravity to the front of the body, removing harmful pressure from the spine and back areas.   It is the world’s first and only “orthotic” for your back.  BackJoy’s Cradling System “floats” the user’s spinal system over both and hard and soft sitting surfaces and acts as a natural shock absorber to provide all-day comfort and back pain relief.

When you sit on Backjoy, it lifts and floats your pelvis shifting it to a neutral position thus adjusting the spine back into “S” shaped, the way it should be and the most comfortable position too.  This in effect leads to good posture, good blood circulation and good health.

Backjoy works in any seat may it be a hard stool or soft couch and yes even on the floor!  You may be wondering why they don’t just make chairs with this support system embedded or include it on computer carts. because BackJoy is much effective as a separate handy material than become a static fixture.

I love how light and durable it is so it can be carried around anywhere you go!   Comes really handy during times of horrendous traffic!

Backjoy comes in three different “styles”, the  Backjoy Relief (preferably for elders)  Backjoy Posture+ for those who weight  120-300lbs and BackJoy Posture+ Mini for petite people and less than 100lbs to 50lbs, and probably in the near future BackJoy Posture + Micro Mini for kids especially those who sit and lounge in front of the TV playing their computers, Xbox, iPad or Playstation!   It is available in different colors, orange, black, blue, and yellow.  Reminder:  Your buttocks should be wider than the BackJoy!
