Dear Mr. Rudick:
Thank-you for sending me one of your
innovative Ergo desk chairs for evaluation. I have to tell you
that I was quite impressed!
As you know from when we spoke, just this
past month I had a major neck surgery, and have been
housebound for the past four weeks. Since I am unable to drive
or be in a car, I have spent much of my time at my home office
desk. Quite frankly, it is my opinion that your Ergo chair has
allowed me to comfortably do so, even while my cervical spine
was healing. The chair seems to entirely take the strain off
my back and neck; something I suspect is due to it’s
automatically letting the spine return to it’s natural,
anatomical position, unlike most conventional desk chairs. My
hunch is that this is the reason why the Ergo chair may
prevent neck, shoulder and back pains, just by sitting in it.
It would be my recommendation that anyone
who has a back or neck condition would find this product to be
likely to improve their overall condition, and that they
should get one without delay. Also, I am quite impressed with
the Ergo ball seat, and it’s dual use. Many patients will
find this physical therapy aide to be invaluable, and an easy
way to accomplish the excellent exercises that are laid out on
your Website and other materials.
Lastly, I must confess that when you told me
I could put it together in about 15 minutes, I really didn’t
believe it. However, even I, somewhat mechanically challenged
as I am, was able to do so.
Once again, I thank you for the chair. I
know you will have success with it, as ergonomically it makes
sense, something that in today’s work and home environment
is invaluable.
Sincerely,

Dear Mr. Rudick:
Thank you for sending the Ergo desk chair
for my evaluation. This chair performance exceeded my
expectations.
As a software developer my job requires me
to sit many hours each day in front of a computer. Since
I had lower back surgery several years ago, I have been using
a very expensive Ergonomic chair attempting to reduce the
discomfort associated with long periods of sitting, with no
great success. Since using the Ergo chair for the last
few months I experienced a dramatic increase of the number of
hours I can sit and work without developing backache and
discomfort.
I would strongly recommend this wonderful
invention to anybody that has to sit at his or her workplace
for long hours. With the Ergo egg shaped ball as a seat
your day sitting becomes more comfortable and is like
exercising your back and abdomen without even knowing it.
I would like to thank you again for brining
the Ergo chair to my attention. It’s effective design,
quick and simple setup and the comfortable sitting experience
are all a real pleasure.
I am sure that the chair will be very
helpful to many people who like myself have professions that
require sitting for many hours in front of a computer.
Thanks again,
Shai Mittelman

To Whom It May Concern,
Sitting can be hazardous to our health. More
and more time is spent sitting in front of computers than ever
before. Even kids are spending hours in front of computers. As
a health care provider, I see the results of this type of
sitting every day in my clinical practice: neck pain, back
pain, shoulder pain, arm and hand pain, numbness in the
fingers and forearms, hemorrhoids, weak abdominal muscles, eye
strain. The list goes on and the afflictions are effecting an
ever younger segment of the population.
Clearly, people are only going to be
spending more and more time sitting and working on computers.
Thinking otherwise is simply naïve. There is a huge problem
that is only growing worse.
An important approach to reducing
these ‘afflictions of sitting’ is to develop better ideas
about sitting itself.
This is the reason I am so interested in the
’Ergo Chair’. The ‘Ergo Chair’ represents a new
approach to sitting. Sitting in the ‘Ergo Chair’ can
actually enhance ones health. The dynamics of sitting in the
‘Ergo Chair’ facilitates spinal health and the circulation
of cerebral-spinal fluid. Pressure is reduced on the spinal
discs. Eyestrain is minimized due to the active nature of
sitting on the chair. The Ergo Chair helps condition and
strengthen the abdominal and back muscles.
The Ergo Chair is an important new concept
for sustained sitting.
Thank you for asking.
Respectfully,
