An average office worker usually spends 12 hours a day in sitting posture, making the body missing its needed movement and back pain appears frequently.

PILAR helps to ease the back pain due to muscles tension, when this happens usually muscle movement is preferred over preserving the muscles. The patient is usually have to work with physical therapist and the success of the therapy depends on the patient himself to practice the exercises regularly into his daily routine but the lack of motivation usually results in slow progress. Existing products in the market don’t offer the possibility of active rehabilitation, they don’t motivate user nor give any feedback to encourage patient.
