Congratulations
on your purchase of an ObusForme ® Backrest
Support. The award-winning ObusForme
Backrest Supports provide support and comfort
for your back to assist in the prevention and
relief of back pain.
The only backrest exclusively endorsed by the
Canadian Chiropractic Association, it contains
an “S”-shaped frame that conforms to the con-
tours of the back to guide the spine into correct
alignment and place you in a proper sitting pos-
ture. The ObusForme ® Lowback Backrest
Support, the ObusForme ® Wideback Backrest
Support, and the ObusForme ® Highback
Backrest Support each offer an optional lumbar
support Pad.
Lightweight and portable, each backrest support
turns any chair into an ergonomic seating sys-
tem; they can be used in the home, office, vehi-
cle, or anywhere else you sit.
QUESTIONS & ANSWERS
Q. How does the ObusForme Backrest Support fasten to a seat or chair?
A. The ObusForme Backrest Support stays in position when the elastic
stretch loop is placed or stretched over most chairs or vehicle seats. The
stretch loop is not necessary on couches or sofas. To use the ObusForme
Highback Backrest Support in a car, truck, or any seat with an opening
at the lower back, simply place the bottom ends of the straps through
the bottom opening, place the top straps over the top of the seat and
secure with buckles.
Q. Why use a lumbar support pad?
A. The lumbar support pad provides added support for the lower spine by
filling in the lower inward curve of your back. Lumbar supports can be
used for everyday use as extra lower back support or to reduce spinal
stress in people with a marked lumbar lordosis or sway-back.
Please Note: It is not necessary to use the lumbar support pad with your
ObusForme Backrest Support. If the lumbar support pad or internal inflat-
able lumbar support system feels bulky or uncomfortable, you may not
have an excessive lumbar curve that requires extra support.
Q. How is the lumbar support pad positioned?
A. Place your buttocks as far back into the ObusForme Backrest Support
as possible. Lean forward and insert the lumbar support pad horizon-
tally across your lower back, above your belt line. Lean back so the hol-
low in the lower back is firmly supported. Whatever feels comfortable is
right for you.
Helpful Hint: To prevent the loss of your lumbar support pad, we recom-
mend you position it inside the backrest’s cover. Simply separate the fas-
tener at the back of your backrest and place the lumbar support pad
inside the cover towards the front of the backrest. Again, position it where
it feels comfortable. Reseal the fastener.
Q. Are there any other uses for the lumbar support pad?
A. Yes, there are a variety of uses for the lumbar support pad:
• Use it as a bolster behind the ObusForme Backrest Support to reduce
seat depth of chairs and sofas.
• Try it on its own for additional comfort and support in any chair.
• Try using it as a headrest when using the ObusForme ® Highback
Backrest Support.
Q. How is the ObusForme Backrest Support cleaned?
A. The ObusForme Backrest Support cover is made of synthetic materials.
It’s easy to clean with a mild soap and a sponge, damp cloth, or soft
brush. Do not rub the cover excessively or place it in a washing
machine. The cover can be removed and hand washed in cool water.
Hang to dry. To smooth out wrinkled fabric, remove the backrest’s cover
and iron it using the iron’s lowest setting. Should you wish to purchase
a replacement cover, they are available in the same durable, hypoaller-
genic fabric, at a minimum cost, through your ObusForme dealer.
Helpful Hint: To increase the air circulation in your backrest, you may
remove the thin plastic layer that lies between the foam and the cover.
Simply separate the fastener at the back of your backrest, remove the
cover, tear off the plastic layer, and replace the cover.
Please Note: The ObusForme ® Backrest Supports may in some cases
require time to get used to. Over the years your spine has become less
flexible, and needs time to adjust to its natural shape again. If you feel
discomfort when using your ObusForme Backrest Support for the first
time, it is recommended that you use it for shorter periods of time,
gradually increasing your usage until you feel comfortable.
If you have a very sore back or small curvature (lumbar area), it is
highly recommended that you allow yourself a break-in period of at
least 30 days in order to obtain the full benefits of your ObusForme
®
Backrest Support.
Replacement Covers are available for the ObusForme ® Lowback,
Wideback and Highback Backrest Supports.
Before using your ObusForme ® Backrest
Support in a vehicle, please consult the
owner's manual to ensure that you can
properly adjust your vehicle's seat and/or
headrest
after installation of the
ObusForme ® Backrest Support.
