Will the Nada-Chair products cut off the circulation to my legs?
No, the circulation for the legs passes behind the knees. The strap pads that are placed on the shinbone are designed to absorb pressure without cutting off your circulation. However, it is important to remember that the circulation in the legs is greatly enhanced by movement. You will be able to sit for much longer periods more comfortably in your Nada Chair, but we recommended you take sensible breaks to stand, stretch, walk and breathe deeply at least once each hour.

How long is it recommended to wear the Nada-Chair slings?
The Nada Chair can be safely worn all day. Whilst most people report immediate and complete relief from discomfort when sitting slouched, you can expect the benefits to continue as long as you wear the Nada Chair. When you stand up or walk after using the Nada-Chair, it is not uncommon to feel a "halo effect", a feeling of well being and good posture, for sometime afterwards. As with any new experience, you may need to experiment and make fitting adjustments to optimize the longest, most comfortable sitting period. Because you will be able to sit for much longer periods more comfortably, it is recommended that you take sensible breaks to stand, stretch, walk and deeply at least once each hour.

How do I know when I have adjusted the Nada Chair properly?
Like a good fitting pair of shoes, the Nada-Chair back slings should fit snugly but not too tightly. Much of the adjustment is self-corrective. If you feel uncomfortable over time, simply loosen the straps slightly. The goal is to keep the low back supported just enough to prevent the sagging that leads to back pain. It is recommended to vary the support by alternatively tightening and loosening the straps when you are sitting for longer periods.

Will use of the Nada-Chair slings weaken my back muscles over time?
Experience shows just the opposite. Doctors internationally are using the back slings to teach their patients to sit straight. Once trained in new habits of good posture, users find it easier to sit properly without the supports. Primarily, the Nada Chair acts as a guard against slouching and disc damage because it works like an extra muscle to keep the back supported. Unfortunately, the major contributor to back disease and weakness is the common office chair that provides only the illusion of support while causing the user to slouch against the backrest.

Will the Nada-Chair supports improve the health of my back?
Absolutely! By keeping you from slouching, the Nada Chair can actually reduce progressive spinal deformation and disc degeneration. It is critical to the long-term health of your back that the alignment of the vertebrae be maintained with the natural curves in the back.

Can I use the back slings in an airline, soft chair or couch?
Yes, the Nada-Chair will effectively improve your posture in any seating situation. The Nada Chair provides the additional pelvic and lumbar support that most seat backs lack. When using the Nada Chair to augment an existing back support, it isn't necessary to tighten the straps as much as when you are depending on the sling for full support.
