How It Works

---

Most conventional chairs are designed with flat, horizontal seating surfaces. While this might feel familiar and comfortable initially, sitting on a standard chair forces your pelvis and spine to bear a perpendicular normal force—a direct upward pressure from the chair’s surface. This force presses into your pelvis and spine in a way that restricts natural spinal alignment and movement. Over time, this pressure can contribute to spinal compression, muscle strain, and the development or worsening of back pain.

The Ortho Chair breaks this traditional mold with its innovative angled seating design. By allowing you to sit at a carefully engineered angle rather than flat, the chair reduces the direct perpendicular pressure pushing upward into your pelvis and spine. Instead of forcing your body to sit rigidly upright against resistance, the angled seat encourages your pelvis to tilt slightly forward. This subtle tilt helps your spine to naturally elongate and decompress, encouraging the vertebrae to gently separate rather than compress.

What does this mean for you?

• Spinal Decompression: The reduction of upward pressure allows the spine to “drop” slightly, relieving the load on spinal discs and nerves. This decompression can reduce nerve irritation and lower the risk of conditions like herniated discs.
   
• Improved Posture: The natural pelvic tilt supports the lumbar curve of your lower back, promoting proper posture effortlessly throughout the day.
   
• Reduced Muscle Strain: Without the constant upward pressure, the muscles supporting your back aren’t forced into tension and can relax more, reducing pain and fatigue.
   
• Enhanced Comfort and Mobility: Sitting at an angle improves blood circulation and reduces stiffness, helping you stay comfortable and mobile for longer periods.
   

This design is not just about comfort—it’s about fundamentally changing the way your body interacts with the chair to address the root causes of back pain. The Ortho Chair’s angled seating works with your body’s natural biomechanics to create a supportive, pain-relieving sitting experience that helps you live more comfortably and actively.
