On Backapp 2.0 you sit with your feet on a footrest padded with a soft damping material. The sitting position and the gentle motion ensure a wonderful sitting experience. This is a chair that gives you something extra.
Backapp 2.0 was invented by Dr. Freddy Johnsen after 2 back surgeries to increase strength and balance function of his back. Now, Backapp products are patented in Europe, USA, and Japan.
The gentle movement of the Backapp 2.0 exercises the muscles that support the spine. Place your feet on a foot ring and balance on the centrally located ball. You can twist the ball from green to red to adjust the balancing challenge. The movement when sitting on the Backapp 2.0 comes about because you constantly have to balance yourself. This is effortlessly done and ensures improved circulation while sitting while at the same time you exercise your core. It increases your energy expenditure by 19% compared to other office chairs. Backapp 2.0 has been proven by trials in Europe region that it helps with backpain, headache, and shoulder pain. It is almost impossible to seat in a wrong position when you use Backapp 2.0. Backapp claims that by using their product, you can avoid 'Sitting Disease'. Diseases, that are caused by sitting still for long period of time, such as musculoskeletal disorders like back pain, obesity, diabetes, and cardio vascular disease. Obesity and Diabetes are one of the biggest health issues in the USA. Poor diet habits and sedantary life style are the major contributing factor. Constant movement enables optimal blood circulation around the body especially the back area reducing back ache, neck pain, and headache. Optimal circulation, also, decreases the chance of cardio vascular disease such as deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, strokes, and heart attack!
90% of Backapp 2.0 parts are produced in Scandinavia and every component can be disassembled to be recycled.
