“On a static seat, we are frozen, as when we sleep.

This increases the sedentary lifestyle and inactivity problems that cause the majority of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs).

The first was for me, but at the request of my patients, I launched into marketing under the Nou Form brand.

They cost between 950 and 1350 euros ”.
