PROBLEM - Chairs Don't Work "All my life my legs have been banged up by chairs that I've designed" - Frank Lloyd Wright Slouching is a universal back problem that can lead to permanent and painful deformations of the spine. Not only do chairs NOT solve this problem, most often they make it worse! Chairs are passive mechanisms that cannot provide adequate support at the low back where it is essential for healthy, comfortable and upright posture. So-called "ergonomic" chairs promise lumbar support, but they can't deliver. Serving only as props for slouched spines, these chairs make back problems worse. Why else do so many complain of low back pain and associated neck and shoulder stress caused by slouching? Bottomline: chairs don't work. SOLUTION - Wear Your Chair The ideal chair that moves with the body "just as a glove moves with the hand that wears it." The Nada-Chair is the chair that you wear. This slouch-busting sling lets you sit comfortably for hours with effortless good posture.

When you sit forward, the back support follows. Since the Nada-Chair follows your body with every move, you constantly enjoy firm, adjustable and dynamic support hugging your low back. "The Nada-Chair acts like an extra muscle that never tires," explains Arthur White, MD. By using the knees to stabilize the pelvis, muscles are relieved of their isometric tasks. The pelvis becomes a stable pedestal on which the spine can effortlessly rest with natural curves restored. on June 29, 2016 at 11:00 AM, updated TRENTON -- New Jerseyans could soon see New Jersey's gas tax rise and sales tax drop under a surprise plan the state Assembly approved Monday. The lower house of the state Legislature voted 53-23 on the plan, which would hike the gas tax by 23 cents a gallon to replenish the nearly broke Transportation Trust Fund in exchange for the sales tax dropping from 7 percent to 6 percent by 2018. Assembly Speaker Vincent Preto (D-Hudson), who crafted the deal with Gov. Chris Christie, said lowering the sales tax will affect all of the Garden State's 9 million residents and put "money in the pockets of the working poor."

But Assembly Transportation Committee Chair John Wisniewski (D-Middlesex) opposed the plan, saying it would blow a hole of more than $1 billion in the state budget "at a time when we're already having trouble paying the bills that we all recognize we have not been able to pay." Sweeney: I was surprised Assembly passed sales tax cut The state Senate still needs to pass the proposal and Christie needs to sign it for it to take effect.

Click on image to zoom Designers: Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber Form doesn't just follow function with Embody.

Function is on full display. This ergonomic office chair's highly technical structures—such as the spine-like Backfit, with its visible H-flexors—show how it bends to encourage seated movement. Embody is purposeful design that creates harmony between your mind and body, and between your body and work. Configure Your Embody Chair May 4 – 16 Add to Wish List So intelligent, sitting in it actually helps you think With Embody, designers Bill Stumpf and Jeff Weber set out to solve the problem of the lack of physical harmony between people and their technology. They worked with more than 30 physicians and PhDs in the fields of biomechanics, vision, physical therapy, and ergonomics who contributed their expertise to help guide the development of this office chair. As a result, you feel Embody’s responsive ergonomics the moment you sit down—like you are floating, yet perfectly balanced. The seat distributes your weight evenly while supporting your body’s micro-movements.

The narrow backrest allows you to move freely and naturally as it automatically adjusts to support a full range of seated postures. By reducing seated pressure and encouraging freedom of movement, Embody allows blood and oxygen to flow more freely, which helps keep you focused. "Sitting is bad for you. Embody is good for you." Less Pressure, More Cool A combination of support layers in Embody’s seat work together to reduce seated pressure. These layers were designed to allow for airflow, keeping you cool and comfortable as you sit. As Agile as You Are Embody encourages movement, keeping your body and brain limber all day, and helping you stay focused and relaxed at the same time. That’s good, because movement promotes blood and oxygen flow, which keeps the brain more focused. Embody encourages the most healthful posture for computer users—a working recline, which reduces spine compression and even slows fluid loss from discs. The Backfit adjustment positions the backrest in line with your spine's natural curve, from your sacrum to lumbar and upper thoracic.

When you move in this office chair, your head remains properly aligned to your computer display. Embody's tilt technology maintains your back in a fixed position relative to the seat, encouraging your body to move naturally into the most positive seated postures while keeping your pelvis stable. Three Zones of Support The tilt technology of the Embody chair also provides three zones of support—for your thighs, sacrum/sitting bones, and thorax. The pelvis remains stable with no rearward rotation. Without a rigid frame and with edges that flex, Embody prevents uncomfortable pressure on your legs and arms. A dynamic matrix of pixels creates seat and back surfaces that automatically conform to your every movement and distribute your weight evenly. One chair size fits every body because Embody automatically adapts to the wide variation in the sizes, shapes, postures, and spinal curves of different people.
