OrthoMax Orthopedic Chair...A New World Awaits
The OrthoMax redefines the landscape of seating comfort and adaptability. This specialised orthopedic chair is engineered to not only redefine your seating experience but, more importantly, to deliver unparalleled back pain relief. What is an orthopedic office chair and how is it different to an ergonomic one?
The OrthoMax stands out with an array of remarkable features. Designed with your wellbeing in mind, it offers a personalised, supportive seating experience that goes far beyond the conventional.
The inflatable lumbar support, height adjustable backrest, free-float mechanism, multi-adjustable armrests and seat-depth adjustment are just some of the features found on this remarkable chair.
1. Backrest adjustment
We work in different positions, and we all have a preferred seated posture.
The backrest on the OrthoMax can be adjusted in three distinctive ways to specifically suit your spine and prevent or reduce lower and upper back pain.
The free-float mechanism enables you to adjust the backrest angle to match your preferred working posture. The backrest can be securely locked in various positions, or it can be left in an unlocked, free-floating mode. In this mode, the backrest remains in constant contact with your back and adapts to your movements. The backrest is height adjustable, which together with the inflatable lumbar cushion, allows you to position the lumbar support precisely where you need it.
2. Seat Adjustment
a. Seat Angle
The OrthoMax is designed with an adjustable seat angle, permitting a forward slope of up to 5 degrees. This adjustment lowers the knees in relation to the hips, thereby “opening” the pelvis.
Sitting with an open pelvis facilitates a more natural curvature of the spine and reduces the pressure on the lumbar discs. Consequently, this reduces the probability of experiencing lower back pain during prolonged periods of sitting. What actually happens to your body when you sit?
b. Seat depth adjustment
The seat slider incorporated in the OrthoMax enables you to finely adjust the seat depth, allowing you to move the seat pan backward or forward to align it with the length of your thighs.
When you are seated comfortably with your back against the backrest of the chair, there should be a 2-3 finger gap between the front edge of the seat and the back of your knees. This practice not only prevents strain behind the knees, but also provides optimal upper leg and under thigh support, promoting good blood circulation.
- For taller individuals with longer legs, a seat slider allows you to INCREASE the seat depth, thereby maintaining a correct ergonomic seated posture. Conversely, a shorter person should consider REDUCING the seat depth. If the seat is excessively long (deep), anyone with shorter legs might find themselves sitting on the front edge of the seat, leading to a lack of adequate back support.
- If you have a coccyx-related issue, a chair with seat depth adjustment can be invaluable. The seat slider allows you to position the seat depth to alleviate pressure on the coccyx, thereby improving comfort while sitting.
3. Armrest adjustment
The armrests on the OrthoMax are multi-adjustable, allowing you to position the supporting pads for optimum comfort.
In addition to vertical height adjustment, the arm pads can be adjusted horizontally (width), and also pivoted inwards or outwards.
NO ASSEMBLY required.

The OrthoMax has a Free-Float mechanism that promotes Dynamic Sitting.
Dynamic sitting occurs in an office chair that is fitted with a mechanism that allows the angle between the backrest and seat to change. By continuously changing this angle, you automatically stimulate, or activate various muscles in your lower back, core and legs. As a result, the blood flow through these muscles increases, bringing oxygen and other nutrients to the muscles and carrying away the waste products of muscle metabolism. By doing so, muscle fatigue and it’s associated pain is reduced, particularly in the lower back, core and legs.
An Orthopedic Chair is recommended for anyone who has chronic lower back pain. An orthopedic chair must have a forward-tilting seat function that reduces the rotation of the pelvis when sitting down. This decreases the disc pressure in the lumbar region of the back while you are seated. Compared to an ergonomic chair, an orthopedic chair has additional features to ensure the chair can be adjusted to specifically address chronic lower back pain. What is an orthopedic chair?
