Our Story
Our journey began in 1986 when we developed and introduced the Wellback Kneeling Chair to the South African market.
Designed to reduce lower back pain by decreasing the pressure in the lumbar discs during sitting, this ergonomic ‘marvel’ soon became the product of choice for the South African health and computer-user markets. The pros and cons of using a kneeling chair
The Wellback Kneeler is still manufactured in South Africa by our parent company, Karo Manufacturing and remains the benchmark kneeling chair in South Africa.
At the Wellback Shop, your back health is our primary focus. We do not simply sell products. We use our superior product knowledge, experience in ergonomics and genuine care, to try and HELP YOU.
Over the years, our range of products has changed significantly. What has not changed however, is our emphasis on designing ergonomic seating to reduce back pain caused by excessive sitting.
We want to solve YOUR back problem and find the product solution that is right for YOU.
