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.
