BackJoy BACKJOY BackJoy Seat - Orthotic for the Back

What happens with and without BackJoy.
But no matter what you are sitting on, your gluteus muscles flatten under your body weight. This causes new pain...
No other chair, seat, or device can stop this from happening. This is why your back still hurts even after you’ve spent hundreds of dollars on the best chairs and cushions. If corrected posture were all it took to stop back pain when you sit, you wouldn’t be reading this.
BackJoy is Different
BackJoy’s patented Orthotic Cradling System is the only way to get complete and lasting results. It is combination therapy for your back, providing both ergonomic (postural) and orthopedic (preventative) relief.

This is how it works:
1. BackJoy "Tilts" To Correct Your Sitting Posture.

BackJoy gently tilts your pelvis forward to induce a neutral position for your spine. Aligning the sacral region corrects the dysfunctional mechanics caused by sitting. The strain and pressure of supporting your body weight is moved away from the spine's muscles and ligaments and placed on proper weight bearing bones (the Ischial Tuberosities). Less strain and pressure means less aggravation and pain.
2. BackJoy "cups" Your Muscles To Stop Painful Strains From Sitting.

Your body weight flattens your gluteus muscles. Even with corrected posture, your gluteus muscles will flatten under your body weight. Since the ligaments that connect your gluteus muscles to your back muscles require equal tension on both sides, your back muscles must tighten to equalize the tension. This tightening creates new pain causing stresses in your back.
Only BackJoy’s patented Orthotic Cradling System can cup the gluteus muscles and stop them from flattening, effectively stopping the automatic tightening of your back’s muscles when you sit. This avoids pain and strain, and keeps more stress off your back’s muscles, joints, and ligaments.
3. BackJoy "Cradles" Your Pelvis And Floats Your Spinal System.

The lower pelvis spreads apart, and the upper pelvis pinches together, putting increased pressure on the the lumbar-sacral joint and ligaments. Like a pain relieving shock absorber, BackJoy lifts your pelvis up off the sitting surface so you sit as much as 3 inches taller. Your pelvis will float in a natural and protective cradle of muscle tissue.
BackJoy restricts the spreading of the lower pelvis reducing pressure on the lumbar-sacral spine. The six components of the pelvis can work fluidly as one unit, minimizing the wear and tear on the sacral joints.
Only BackJoy can finish the job. Only BackJoy’ s patented Orthotic Cradling System can stop the gluteus muscles from flattening under your body weight - and STOP THE PAIN that gluteal spreading creates. No chair, roll, pillow, massager, wedge, foam - nothing can do for your back what BackJoy can.
Your back is unique. With BackJoy, you can sit the way you want to sit.
Peer reviewed orthopedic back journals suggest the best way for any individual to sit is in the position they are most comfortable. That’s why BackJoy is designed to work like a personalized orthotic for your unique back. It will adapt itself to accommodate a "slouched" posterior pelvic tilt, a sitting straight-up anterior tilt, and everything in between. No matter what position you like to sit in, BackJoy’s Orthotic Cradling System will remain active.
Most chairs and devices require you to sit like a mannequin to work. BackJoy lets YOU sit the way YOU want. 
Under the care of a Medical Professional? BackJoy can work hand-in-hand with your therapeutic regime. Bring this brochure and your BackJoy on your next visit to learn how. Ask your doctor to recommend a sitting posture for you that will transfer the most pressure and strain off your specific underlying condition.
BackJoy will not work for you if you have been confined to a wheel chair, have any form of muscular atrophy, or if you have trouble standing or walking for any length of time. Before using this or any other product, consult a physician to make sure the origin of your back pain is not due to a condition that requires medical attention.
Only BackJoy can finish the job. Only BackJoy’ s patented Orthotic Cradling System can stop the gluteus muscles from flattening under your body weight - and STOP THE PAIN that gluteal spreading creates. No chair, roll, pillow, massager, wedge, foam - nothing can do for your back what BackJoy can.
FAQ
What is BackJoy?
BackJoy is revolutionary, easy to use, and completely portable sitting device that prevents back pain from occurring when you sit, so you can finally sit comfortably, anywhere.
Why is BackJoy Different?
BackJoy’s Orthotic Cradling System™ makes it the only device that prevents the pain causing tightening of back muscles that is triggered when the gluteus muscles flatten under the user’s weight when sitting. This patented Orthotic Cradling System™ allows BackJoy to relieve more pressure and strain than any other device or chair available.
How do I use BackJoy?
It's as easy as 1-2-3. There are no straps or buckles.
1. Place it on your seat so the logo will be under your left thigh. Do not put it behind your back!
2. Sit on it and pull it forward until it's snug against your buttocks muscles. Adjust until you feel the cupping action!
3. Skootch. Lean a little forward, push with your feet to "skootch" the BackJoy with your buttocks towards the rear of the seat until you find your most comfortable position. Sit back and relax in comfort!
When should I feel results?
Many users experience immediate relief, and some require several weeks of regular use to feel the benefits of BackJoy. Your results will depend upon your underlying conditions and how often you use BackJoy. To get the quickest results and greatest benefits, use BackJoy according to directions as often as possible, everywhere you sit.
What if I don't feel anything when I sit on BackJoy?
If you don’t feel any change when you sit on BackJoy, make sure you have closely followed the sitting instructions and your buttocks muscles are firmly cupped. The best way to feel the BackJoy difference is this: Sit on BackJoy for a period of time, then remove it from under you. Feel your gluteus muscles flattened under your body weight. Now put it back. Feel your pelvis floating in a cradle of muscle tissue.
BackJoy does not rely on gimmicks like heat, massage, or overly soft foam to trick you into thinking it is doing something for you. It is when you don't feel much of anything that you are doing the most to prevent back pain from occurring, or developing a back injury from sitting. This means you should not feel much at all, just comfort.
What if my back hurts when I try sitting on BackJoy?
Sometimes changing your sitting posture can cause temporary discomfort. Should you feel increased tightness when first using BackJoy, limit usage to15 minutes, then 30, and upward over a few days or weeks. With gradually increased usage will come strength and lasting relief. If there is any increased pain, stop using BackJoy. If BackJoy does not help relieve your back pain, consult a Medical Professional.
Will BackJoy work for my condidtion?
BackJoy provides relief by reducing the pressures that can aggravate the underlying causes of a wide variety of acute and chronic back pain such as low back pain, herniated and degenerated discs, back injuries, sciatica, and many more.

Why is BackJoy so small and comfortable?
BackJoy must be smaller than your buttocks. It is designed to cradle the 4"-5" space around the two sitting bones at the base of your pelvis. It is most effective for adults from 118 to 285 lbs.
It is because BackJoy is so small that it can literally float your spinal system in natural cushioning. It’s the floating in your natural soft tissues that feels so comfortable.

Ronald G Sherman, BS, PT, MA, DC
Thank you so much for my BackJoy. It has been a God-send in relief of Low back pain. All of my friends want one!
Pauline Canter, RN, Pineville, NC
I came across your product by chance when a patient brought one in. I realized what a marvelous piece of equipment it was. It places one's body weight on the Ischial Tuberosities, tips the pelvis, and cups the gluteus muscles, reducing pressure points. It does so many things so well; I've become totally dependent on BackJoy as a part of my practice. I use BackJoy personally, for my family, and of course, I have recommended it to all of my co-workers and patients coming into the office. I have numerous patients who have known lumbar disc disease who, for one reason or another, either will not or cannot have surgery done. Every one of those patients has gained considerable relief by using BackJoy. Also other people with not only low back pain but thoracic and cervical problems get relief from BackJoy. I want to thank you for my own back, and for my patients backs.
Larry Bader, DO, Columbia, MO
Over the years I have seen many "miracle cure" products come and go. BackJoy, however, is a product I can recommend without reservation. As a Pharmacist it is very rewarding to have people tell me that because I have recommended BackJoy they have been spared a great deal of pain and money.
Kelly Shirley R.Ph
BackJoy achieves something that no other product has come close to doing for my patients; it takes stress off the vertebral and soft-tissue muscles and ligaments of the lumbar-sacral spine and therefore relieves back pain while sitting. BackJoy is suitable for a wide variety of patients irrespective of age, severity, or underlying pathology. Back patients have usually tried many seats/pillows on the market, investing 100’s of dollars without gaining satisfactory relief. The low cost and effectiveness of BackJoy is therefore a very refreshing change. The makers don’t profess to cure back pain, nor do they promise it will induce any physical change – all it is design to do is help back pain patients sit more comfortable. I’m a firm believer in the highly effective and affordable BackJoy. It’s a high quality product which I enthusiastically recommend to all the "back pain" patients I treat.
Glynnis Joffe, PT, Evanston, IL
I'll be honest, when I first got BackJoy I thought it looked too simple. But looks can be deceiving. I've tried it myself and I think it's terrific. The comfort BackJoy delivers, and it's ability to relieve pressure make it a true blessing."
Julian Whitaker, MD, From Dr. Whitaker's Health & Healing
I found BackJoy useful for myself and I've recommended it to my patients who have back problems. It has given me great relief.
