SpinalGlide™
ErgoKinetics™ = Ergonomics in Motion = the Evolution of Ergonomics.
Spinal-glide™ is the first patented ErgoKinetic™ seat designed specifically to enhance spinal health by allowing for movement of the pelvis and lower back while seated. Our jobs require hours of sitting in chairs that are without any mechanism to adequately allow the body to move, until now.
When we walk, we are in a weight-bearing position and the pelvis moves through a specific range of motion. When we sit we are also in a weight-bearing posture yet we sit in seats that don't allow the pelvis to move through any range of motion. Even when we are seated and reach forward with the right arm, the left side of the body moves back. If the seat doesn't move, this reciprocating motion of the body is impeded.
Spinal-glide achieves this by using a spring split-seat that allows the pelvic bones and back to move as if we are still walking. The seats are separated by a narrow space that allows the coccyx (tailbone) to hang rather than touch the seat pad reducing compression of the sacrum and lumbar spine in the lower back.
All seats are comfortable for the first few minutes, but unless there is a massager in the chair, after a few minutes we start to
fidgit, our body needs to move. If we are required to sit for such long hours then we need seats that enhance the normal range of motion of the pelvis and lower back. Spinal-glide is specifically designed to allow the body to move and enhance the motion of the pelvis and lower back.
