Innotech Rehabilitation Products Inc. (Innotech) was founded on principles and product ideas generated by practitioners. In 1989, Innotech began consulting with chiropractors, clinic directors, and other practitioners regarding the management of specific patient needs for the ongoing management and prevention of back pain. The responses were overwhelmingly consistent: “Every individual is different, so each individual’s spine requires its own custom treatment.” After five years of conceptualization, and the creation of many prototypes, the EmbraceAIRPlus was born. Its patented design makes it the only dynamic back support that provides users with a fully customizable, three-dimensional support. Inclusive in the research was the demand for higher quality products. Patients were upset that after only six months of use, other supports deteriorated to nothing more than a flimsy piece of foam. We developed a hand-crafted manufacturing process utilizing Canadian engineering and suppliers. More than 20 years have passed since the birth of the EmbraceAIRPlus, and Innotech continues to manufacture its products with the highest standards in quality materials and craftsmanship in Canada. Since its inception, there have been over 40 manufacturing and design improvements. Some of these are visible, and others involve the internal mechanics, but with ongoing feedback these great products keeps getting better. As Robert D. Johnston B.A., D.C., D. Hom., Associate has stated, “They are simply the ‘Rolls Royce’ of back supports.”It is for this reason that Innotech is proud to stand behind its products and back its orthopedic supports with warranties that range from five years to a lifetime. Due to the global search for better, more effective products, Innotech exports to dozens of countries and is one of the few companies that is actually shipping products into China. Scientific Evidence Dr. McGill, PhD, is a world-renowned scientist and heralded spine expert who is well versed in proper back health. As a Professor of Spine Biomechanics at the University of Waterloo, his lectures are sought after worldwide. The University of Waterloo has conducted true independent and extensive testing on Innotech’s EmbraceAIRPlus and LumbAIRPlus Products. In fact, it has published several investigative reports and clinical studies which demonstrate the assured efficacy of these products. The latest study – which proved conclusive benefits – was the testing of one of our products in airline seats, published September 2009 in Ergonomics: The international journal of research and practice in human factors and ergonomics. Innotech products continue to appear in Dr. McGill’s text publications. Through his research, Dr. McGill has proven that the ideal sitting posture is one that continually changes. “The objective is to make sitting a dynamic activity with frequent posture change. Changing lumbar postures causes a migration of the loads from one tissue to another, and to this end, EmbraceAIR products use the latest science to ensure minimal stress on the low back tissues and provide for posture change. Static back rests simply cannot provide these advantages.” EmbraceAIRPlus is the only support to offer internal vertical adjustment of the lumbar AIR support. During a quantitative investigation performed at the University of Waterloo in August of 1999, it was proven that inflating the internal air chamber in its highest position increased lordosis by 12 degrees (s.d. 1.9), and decreased it 13.3 degrees (s.d. 2.5) when Proven to Help Guaranteed to Last EmbraceAIR is Used Everywhere!
