ACTIVA

Activa is an air inflated or water filled Wobble Cushion. It is a low cost solution to the traditional Wobble board with a semi spherical ball. This "wobble cushion" is available in a few variations; ranging from type of inflation valve used, flat top or space ship shaped, thick sides or bevelled edge, spiky or with concentric circles, standard or enhanced cushion. All of these differences will determine the versatility of the wobble board: for dynamic sitting, a Balance Board for Neuro retraining and Fall Prevention Management, Lumbar support and Sitting Wedge for proprioception and movement in the trunk muscles. Fill it with air or water as required.. Beneficial in promoting an upright sitting posture, strengthens the core muscles. Suggested for: i) Dynamic sitting balance ii) As a self-contouring lumbar support iii) Sitting posture and strengthening the trunk musculature.

BODY BOLSTER

The BodyBolster is a Back Support as well as a Flexibility and Conditioning tool which is adjustable to fit any body shape and size. It is made of TorflexT, a soft, latex-free medical grade PVC that gives it malleability and a comfortable skin-like feel. The uniqueness in the BodyBolster is its self inflation; a valve allows you to deflate it with a squeeze and inflate with a turn of the valve. It self inflates and there is no need to pump it up!

Unlike other postural support devices, BodyBolster provides 'ACTIVE' support, because it is air-filled and molds to your body contour, encouraging healthy joint movement.
What is 'ACTIVE' support? The external load applied on air, within BodyBolster, require a greater effort to maintain stability. The micro movement within resulting from a slight imbalance from the external load builds the area as it supports you.

Other 'PASSIVE' makes of Supports are typically padded or cushioned and made from foam or plastic. These products causes the muscles to shrink and become lazy, over time, causing more damage to the very area being supported - and if used during exercises are hard and inhibit muscle contraction.

LUMBAR ROLL

This inflatable 32cm long spiky lumbar roll is air inflated. Functions like the Physiotherapist's "rolled towel". However, Spiky lumbar roll does not collapse or flatten under constant back pressure. The smoothened spikes provide tactility and massage. The Roll is supplied with an adjustable nylon belt and buckle.





ADJUSTABLE INCLINE BOARD

Avoid developing Neck Pain with the BC Adjustable Slant Board. It has variable tilt angles (0 to 70 degrees) to suit reading, writing positions and away from light reflection. It folds flat and is portable. We have other products such as a table incorporating a slant surfaced table top.





FIT SIT

Fit Sit is an air inflated or water filled sitting Wedge. Place it on any flat surface. The rear positioned inflation plug enables pressure variation on-the-fly. Prolonged sitting in inappropriate posture is the major cause of Lower Back Pain. Sit Fit helps in postural positioning, the nubs on the sitting surface provide tactility while the air/water filled cushion encourages movement beneficial to strengthening the core and posterior trunk muscles. A simple but effective device to: i) stimulate neurological activity in proprioception, ii) proper sitting posture.





FOOT REST

On Left is a carpeted Rocker Foot Rest. The rockered foot rest allows it to be tilted to suit the user's ankle comfort.

When seated, the chair is heighted to the table to suit the user. While the table height is standard, the users are not. Those sitting with heels off the ground or feet tip toed; (feet dangling above the floor) risk restriction of blood flow behind the knee, sometimes experiencing numbness in the feet. The BC Foot Rest or Foot wedge enables proper feet support. The angular platform aids: i) in stretching the calf muscles, ii) a perfect rest for the feet with a 90 degree angled ankle, iii) The user to "fill the feet gap" and feel the ground.



BALL CHAIRS

The therapeutic effects benefitted from sitting on a ball outweighs that of a conventional chair. Sitting on a Ball Chair require the use of trunk and abdominal muscles to support the torso thus maintaining the correct posture through bio-feed back. Slouching causes the user to fall backwards while slumping forward transfers the body weight to the feet. Sit on it for 2 hours to realise the effectiveness of sitting on a Ball Chair.

LUMBAR "D" ROLL

These "D" shaped lumbar rolls, upholstered in rich colored fabric, support the lumbar maintain its lordotic curve. The closed cell foam offer better resilience and retains the shape longer than competitive rolls. Our assurance of a quality product is the adjustable nylon webbed belt with non-corrosive buckle. Elastic band straps, stretches and loses its hold on the back of chair, while the metal buckle corrodes due to high humidity.




SCHUKRA RALLYE

The Rolls Royce in Back supports. Rallye's steel frame with a red hand wheel on the side allows the back support to adapt to the lumbar curvature. The same mechanism, electrically powered, is used in First Class and Business Class seats of International Airlines; S.I.A., Japan Air Lines, Lauda Air and European Car manufacturers: Porsche, Saab, Alfa Romeo, Volkswagen and others.
