Motivation BackJoy, An Orthotic Back and Neck Support

BackJoy, An Orthotic Back and Neck Support

SHARE

BackJoy is an orthotic seat that is easily transportable and simple to get accustomed to. I sit in front of the computer for most of my work day, and have found that BackJoy has made a big difference in improving my posture, back ache, and leg fatigue. When I first tried BackJoy, I instantly became aware of my posture, and how much I tend to slump in my chair as the day wears on. The device is comfortable, thin, and acts as a gentle reminder to sit ‘properly’.

I have especially noticed a difference in leg fatigue and back ache after hard training sessions or long runs. Not only have I been training for fall races, but I have been crossing that with triathlon training this summer. Before Backjoy, I had noticed that after these tough training sessions, not only do I have a backache, but my legs tend to feel cramped and restless. Sitting at my desk for most of the day after challenging training sessions just compounded the matter.

With BackJoy, I sit upright comfortably. It provides support to my lower back and I find that I no longer cross my legs (which has helped with the leg issues!)

I would recommend BackJoy to any runner that has a desk job, or finds themselves on the road for long durations. If I know I’m going to be in the car for more than an hour – I bring BackJoy! It has made such a difference, without being a large or awkward device.
