KNEELER CHAIR REPORT 1998
'Independent Consumer Guide'. The panel of experts who helped compile this kneeling chair report were: an occupational therapist, a GP, an ergonomist, a research professor and a physiotherapist, "The Experts Favourite, best padding and most stable. The natural 'S' shape of the spine should be maintained while sitting. A kneeler seat such as the Putnam Posture Chair can help maintain the correct position." Our kneeling Posture Chair chair beat the equivalent Scandinavian kneeling chair costing three times the price.

Foot up (Ankle Foot Orthosis)

The 'Foot-Up' is a lightweight ankle orthosis, designed to provide dynamic support for drop foot or similar complaints. This simple orthosis not only provides visible improvement in the patient's gait, by providing support the moment the foot is raised, but it is simple to fit and practically invisible when worn.
Foot-up combines two separate parts; an ergonomic ankle wrap, which connects to a plastic inlay that fits between the tongue and the laces of a shoe. The attachment fastens to the ankle wrap by a strong elastic strap with a quick release clip. The ankle wrap is made from a breathable three-layered structure, which makes it comfortable to wear for long periods, without causing irritation to the skin or impeding the foot's freedom of movement.

The Serola Sacroiliac Belt

Relieves Symphysis Pubis Dysfunction.

The Serola Sacroiliac Belt is designed to compress and support the sacroiliac joints, thereby relieving stress and instability at these weight bearing structures. Just as importantly, it is not so tight that it is restrictive. Excess or insufficient motion can adversely affect the entire musculoskeletal system. The Serola Sacroiliac Belt, by providing the correct balance of resistance and resilience, re-establishes the joint’s normal motion.

Because of the stability the Serola Sacroiliac Belt gives to the base of your spine, strength is increased throughout your back, hips, and legs, and your chances of injury are lessened considerably during work or play.

Don’t Let Pregnancy Related Back Pains and Discomfort Curb Your Lifestyle

Pregnancy is tough on your back and body in general. Lower back pains and discomforts are common occurrences of pregnancy. Additional weight and the baby throw off the natural body alignment and cause undue stress on your lower back and hip area.


To help reduce backache and improve your general health during pregnancy, follow these suggestions:

  • Wear comfortable low heel shoes.
  • Avoid lifting and bending from the waist.
  • Exercise*. (Consult your physician.)
  • Wear a Maternity Support*. (Consult your physician.)

The Soft Form ™ Maternity Support can help alleviate the stress on your body by providing orthopedic support to the lower lumbar region, abdomen and hip area.

How Does the Soft Form ™ Maternity Belt Work?

The Soft Form ™ Maternity Support gently lifts the belly, relieving the pressure on the lower back.

The elastic side compression panels provide compressive support to the hip area relieving discomfort and pressure on the pelvis from the baby.

The Soft Form ™Maternity Support also encourages proper posture, relieving stress on the lower back caused by misalignment of the spine due to the pregnancy.

The Soft Form ™ Maternity Support provides soothing relief from lower back pains and discomfort associated with pregnancy. The support has a light weight, low profile design and features an 8” wide double laminated lumbar pad with orthopedic stays for additional support. Its side compression panels are made of ventilated elastic for maximum compressive support and breathability.

The Soft Form ™Maternity Support is designed with flexible sizing capability and can be adjusted as the baby grows. The maternity belt comes in a neutral beige color and can easily be worn under most clothes. Soft Form is latex-free.

*CAUTION: Please consult your physician before wearing this product. Complete Wearing and Care Instructions Enclosed. Consult your physician and/or a trainer who has experience in exercise routines for pregnancy to determine a routine or to modify your current workout.
