HOW TO USE THE ENERGYZER BACKREST™ & WHAT TO EXPECT
To receive the most comfort and energy from the Energyzer Backrest™
Follow these instructions:
On Vehicle Seatbacks:
1. Deflate lumbar supports in vehicle seats. (they reduce the flow of energy! And are less comfortable than the Energyzer Backrest™)
2. Position the seat back 2-10 degrees backward.
3. Install the Energyzer Backrest™ against vehicle seat backs with side bolster airbags using ONLY vertical straps. Horizontal straps may interfere with deployment of side bolster air bags. USE HORIZONTAL STRAPS AT YOUR OWN RISK.
4. Install the Energyzer Backrest™ against vehicle seats without side bolster airbags, use both vertical and horizontal straps. Tighten straps to hold backrest in place and secure using Velcro ends.
5. Sit in the seat and move it forward so you can reach the steering wheel without moving your shoulders forward. Failure to properly position yourself in the seat will cause you to lean forward and curve your back in a ‘C’ shape which will put pressure on your lumbar area and against lumbar area curve of the Energyzer Backrest™ and thus cause discomfort. Proper posture is essential for the Energyzer Backrest™ to work optimally to increase comfort and energize your body.
6. Sit in the seat and adjust the position of the Energyzer Backrest™ vertically so that it is comfortable to you.
7. Assume good posture (shoulders back, chest out, stomach in) and inflate/deflate bladder using the rubber bulb to adjust Energyzer Backrest™ horizontally to your comfort. The goal is to position your spine in the optimum gentle “S” curve in a perfect posture and energyzing curvature. Only small adjustments of the bulb can make a noticeable difference in your comfort.
8. When you feel uniform support along the entire length of the backrest you will know you have it properly adjusted.
9. Adjust the Backrest during use to your comfort. Most people will feel for the first time unique, firm yet comfortable back support that promotes proper posture, relives back stress and a surge of energy. Good posture corrects many back discomfort problems. It facilitates the flow of energy throughout your body
10. While using the Energyzer Backrest™, maintain proper posture. Most people have poor posture and it may take days or even up to a month, to re-program your body to proper posture. This may take some re-conditioning of old bad habits.
Note: Physical therapists and chiropractors recommend sitting no longer than 1 hour. Get up and move around, stretch etc. to restore bodily functions.
On All Other Seatbacks:
1. Install the Energyzer Backrest™ against the seatback with both vertical and horizontal straps. Tighten straps to hold backrest in place and secure using Velcro ends.
2. Sit in the seat and adjust the position of the Energyzer Backrest™ vertically so that it is comfortable to you.
3. Assume good posture (shoulders back, chest out, stomach in) and inflate/deflate bladder using the rubber bulb to adjust Energyzer Backrest™ horizontally to your comfort. The goal is to position your spine in the optimum gentle “S” curve in a perfect posture and energyzing curvature. Only small adjustments can make a noticeable difference in your comfort.

6. While using the Energyzer Backrest™ maintain proper posture. Most people have poor posture and it may take days or even up to a month, to re-program your body to proper posture. This may take some re-conditioning of old bad habits. Sit close enough to your work space so you are not reaching for the keyboard or items on your desktop. Do not lean forward and create a “C” shaped spine which impedes the flow of energy along the spine, puts pressure on the lumbar area and creates discomfort and fatigue.
Note: Physical therapists and chiropractors recommend sitting no longer than 1 hour. Get up and move around, stretch etc. to restore bodily functions.
I Used It In My Truck, And It Was Relaxing…
“I used it in my truck, and it was relaxing to increase the curvature in the lumbar part of my back using the adjustable bladder.”
This Backrest Helps Me Stay More Alert…
“Without the Energyzer Back Rest my car seat is very uncomfortable. I do a lot of traveling and this backrest helps me stay more alert because my posture is improved by adjusting the amount of lumbar support, I need to give me maximum comfort.”
I Used It Both In My Office Chair & My Truck…
It was wonderful, and I used it both in my office chair and my truck. Love that you can adjust it and I like that the strap goes from top to bottom and seemed to keep the backrest in place better.
