Therapod products are fitted with:

1) Therapod Back Support System
2) Probax

1) The Therapod Back Support System

The back support system consists of four adjustable straps, each one fitted to a highly dynamic, flexible Therapod 'shell'

These straps relate to three specific areas of your back:

Experiment with different strap positions until you are sure that you have reached the required level of comfort and support for you.

How to customise Therapod to your back

• To customise your Therapod, first unzip the back cover to expose the adjustable straps
• Loosen off the four adjustable straps by unfastening the velcro tabs
• Pull out each strap to the required tension and then velcro it securely to retain the setting. Support increases by the tension of each strap
• Re-zip the chair cover and enjoy the long-term comfort. Once a chair is set up for its user, it senses and responds to that individual’s needs whatever seating position they adopt

2)ProBax

The Problem - Traditional seats allow the pelvis to rotate backwards forcing the spine into a 'C' shaped kyphotic curve, resulting in poor posture and discomfort.

The Implementation - ProBax is a patented proprietory foam-based technology of varying densities, applied within the seat, using conventional materials and techniques. The technology can be incorporated into most forms of seats without modification to the frame or upholstery.

ProBax –
The sign of optimum comfort and wellbeing.

ProBax - Correcting Poor Posture Original Seat - Results of Poor Posture: Kyphotic position leads to disc pressure, spinal dysfunction and severe discomfort. Constricted vessels reduces blood flow in the lower limbs. Slumping causes a plethora of back and neck aches and pains, leading to fidgeting and fatigue.	ProBax Seat - Benefits of Correct Posture: Upright lordotic position is maintained for longer, dramaticallyimproving comfort. Increased blood flow through the lower limbs of the body. Relieved stress on the spinal discs greatly reduces back and neck pain. Pressure under the hamstring muscles is alleviated and fatigue eased.
