Product Description
Because back pain is so common, its not surprising that it's the #2 reason people see their family doctor.
But theres something that can bring a unique kind of comfort and correction and it can work alongside any treatment your doctor might recommend. It is the Obus Ultra Forme Backrest, from the makers of the award winning Obus Forme Lowback Backrest Support.

The Obus Ultra Forme is the new science in back pain relief.

The doctor-designed Obus Ultra Forme conforms to the natural curvature of a healthy spine. This innovative design is scientifically tested and clinically proven to relieve back pain by shifting the spine into a neutral position that eases pressure on the lumbar discs and lower back muscles. This action reduces muscle activity in the lower back by an amazing 50%, thus reducing much of the strain typically felt in those muscles.

The Obus Ultra Forme is available in three sizes (small / medium / large) for the best fit and maximum benefit. For even better results, we recommend pairing the Obus Ultra Forme backrest with the Obus Ultra Seat. Adding the Obus Ultra Seat further reduces pressure in the back, and encourages optimal alignment in the pelvis and lower spine. Together, the Obus Ultra Forme Backrest and Obus Ultra Seat offer a complete, ergonomic seating system that delivers maximum relief and support anywhere you sit in your car, at your desk or at home.

Sizing:
*Small - less than 5'2"
*Medium - 5'3" to 6'2"
*Large - over 6'3"

The Obus Ultra Forme was put to the test during a three-month study with Los Angeles bus drivers. The results were dramatic:

**Over 90% experienced a significant decrease in pain while sitting

**Most reported higher levels of energy and mental alertness

**Many reported significant improvements in neck pain, upper back and shoulder pain, buttock pain, leg pain, foot pain and headaches.

Product is a huge improvement over prior Obus Forme designs (I have two older back supports by them). The form is great and the ability to choose according to one's height is even better. You will enjoy the beneficial difference this product makes.

I bought this product a couple of months ago and seem to be very effective. My back aches have virtually disappeared. I recommend the product to anyone with back issues

I like this backrest in my car. I use it with the matching seat cushion. I am small and the shape of my car seat forced me into a hunched position. However, I think it does not have enough lumbar support. The curvature of the backrest is very subtle. I may have to add a lumbar cushion.

I tried it in my office chair (a basic task chair) and I liked it, but am always up and down and in and out of my seat. It did not stay in place well so I gave up.

It did not fit properly in my dining room chair which has a curved back so I use an inflatable backrest there.

I do not think this would be a good buy at original price, but at the sale price, it might be just what you need.



5 out of 5 stars Just what the doctor ordered.   February 22, 2009

I have an "executive" chair that's too large and curved wrong. The backrest corrected the curve and filled in excess space (I'm 5'7" and slim with slight scoliosis). Of course one still should use upper AND lower ab muscles to support their posture, not to mention high monitor placement, low keyboard placement, and thighs fairly horizontal with feet flat on the floor. But with that in order, this backrest will do the rest.

i spotted the obus forme back and seat rest at walgreens as a display in the pharmacy area and tried it out for myself. i've had lumbar arthritis for a few years and was recently diagnosed with ms. so i definitely needed something for my office chair at work. well i lucked out when asking the walgreen's manager about it. she gave it to me for free! it works great and keeps your posture in the correct position. i read a review about the person slouching and having to adjust the back rest every time. well you're not supposed to slouch first of all and this thing has velcro straps that keep it in place. i would have paid the $100 plus for this after trying it but turned out to be my lucky day. you might want to get the seat rest too. it's feels perfect and goes great with the back rest. i definitely recommend this!
