Why Choosing PostureFit^® Is A Smart Move

For several years after the Aeron was introduced Herman Miller only offered the adjustable lumbar support as an additional means of back support for the user.

But their research showed that whilst the lumbar support helped it still wasn't the complete answer to the problem of effective back support.

The reason for this was the realization that there was a critical area of the back that wasn't being adequately supported and as a result chair users were tending to slouch in their chairs and so adopt a poor seating posture.

The area of the back that wasn't receiving the correct support was at the base of the lower back below the waistline in the pelvic area at the base of the spine. This area is nearly always unsupported on an office chair and even with chairs that don't have separate backs and seats, support is either insufficient or completely absent.

Herman Miller decided to consult with Dr Brock Walker, a highly experienced and respected back care specialist and through working together as a collaborative team the PostureFit^® was developed and added to the range.

Herman Miller's own research has shown that existing Aeron users they tested some 84 percent preferred PostureFit^® to the normal lumbar support and a slightly higher 86 percent thought it gave them improved lower back support.

Just What Is PostureFit^® And How Does It Work?

There are 3 principle components to the device

• A Butterfly shaped flexible pad
• A wishbone structural outer support
• A control knob with a cable linkage for adjustments

The flexible pad forms the main support and it is this that gives the user that much needed pelvic support. It's designed to work in conjunction with the chair's back pellicle and both mold unobtrusively with the user's back.

In use, it gently keeps the user's pelvis correctly aligned which has the added benefit of keeping the rest of the upper back properly lined up.

The control knob allows each user to set the PostureFit^® to their exact needs. Unlike the lumbar support it's hardly noticeable as it molds to your back's shape, although if it wasn't there you would soon notice!

How Can The PostureFit^® Benefit You?

Quite simply, it acts as a simple inconspicuous pelvic back support alleviating the commonly felt pressure on the lower back. Symptoms like backache, shoulder and neck pain and even headaches are relieved, allowing you to work comfortably and therefore productively.

It serves to keep the natural forward angle of the pelvis which in turn results in the correct spinal alignment, and so has significant benefits for your body's long term health and wellbeing.
