Try floating instead of sitting

Many people who work in offices suffer from tension, muscular imbalance and back pain.

Sitting was yesterday – standing is the future

Since he started working while standing on a kybun mat, Patrick Oppliger has stopped getting headaches.

A healthy posture for office work

Many people adopt the wrong posture when sitting at their desk. Christoph Kempter, CEO of SOPAC AG in St. Gallen, Switzerland, certainly found this to be the case.

Back pain eradicated by using kybun shoes instead of insoles

Philipp Scheuble, the mayor of a Swiss municipality named Rüthi, has been suffering from back pain for many years. His back felt painful whenever he stood for more than ten minutes. His doctor had recommended insoles.

Standing comfortably

Alex Zenhäusern is a telematics specialist at Elektro Frei Rheintal AG. He spends a large amount of his time at work standing in front of his computer – and on the springy elastic kybun mat.

The kybun mat allows you to improve your fitness during every working hour.

Almost without pain again after 25 years

As an insurance expert, René Leuppi is often out and about. For 25 years he suffered from serious pain and had to wear orthopaedic insoles. He also had pain in his hip.

Standing at the trade show without pain

Usually, Pascal Wieser spends most of his working hours sitting at a desk, but now and then, the managing director of the Vögele travel agency spends days standing at trade shows, presenting his company. This quickly gave him severe back pain.

Soon won over despite his scepticism

René Keusen had to give up his job at the Opera House for health reasons. Two slipped discs and knee trouble made his life difficult and gave him severe pain.

Comfortable through everyday life

Use kybun to relax and strengthen your muscles

Happiness in the office

The office chair is gone. Work is now being done on the kybun mat, the soft-elastic spring floor.

Passive sitting can cause these physical ailments.

Working on a kybun mat at a standing desk, for example, is the ergonomic alternative for the workplace. The flexible surface strengthens small muscles, releases tension and positively influences your well-being.

Studies show that moderate exercise increases performance and improves concentration when combined with mental activity. The kybun mat makes you more alert and creative, while ensuring you still have plenty of energy left in the evening.

Integrate a standing table and a kybun mat into your daily work routine and discover the joy of movement. It’s good exercise and good for your body.

A total of 40 bank employees at St. Galler Kantonalbank and some 100 employees at Helsana health insurance tested a standing desk in combination with a kybun mat as part of two pilot projects. Participants in both of the studies confirmed the positive effects of the kybun mat on their physical well-being and posture. The employees really enjoyed working on the kybun mat.

Take a kybun break

A representative study proves that although breaks are a fixed part of the daily routine at work, they are rarely used to increase productivity and motivation.

A total of 75 per cent of employees surveyed stated that their companies did not provide quiet rooms or organise active break activities such as relaxation exercises and movement programmes.

The elastic, springy kybun mat provides active movement and relaxation at the same time. This allows you to recharge your batteries during breaks and return to your desk bursting full of energy.

From sitting down at meetings to creative thinking on your feet

Standing room only! A height-adjustable conference table together with a kybun mat helps makes the office ergonomic. Studies show that moderate exercise helps to noticeably improve posture, concentration and memory.

The small muscles throughout the entire muscle corset are used to maintain balance on the elastic, springy kybun mat.

Meetings are far more dynamic and focused as you have to think on your feet. Participants are more awake and actively take part in the discussion.

Erika Weiss, der kybun Schuh lindert meine Schmerzen, Schweiz

Erika Weiss, der kybun Schuh lindert meine Schmerzen, Schweiz

In unseren Berufen sind wir den ganzen Tag unterwegs. Ich gehe auf unebenen Reitplatzböden umher, habe Kniearthrose und dadurch permanent Schmerzen. Der kybun Schuh ersetzt die Federung, die in meinem Knie durch die Arthrose fehlt. Dadurch wird der Schmerz gelindert.

Es ist ganz anders. Du steigst aus dem Schuh oder überhaupt nach einem langen Arbeitstag, du kommst nach Hause und es ist ein ganz anderes Gefühl. Es ist wirklich so.

Leeroy Lo, aus Singapur

Schmerzen beim Gehen gehörten für mich zum Alltag. Ganz abgesehen davon, dass meine Füße bei stundenlangem Stehen regelmäßig sehr warm wurden, litt ich unter starken Schmerzen im unteren Rücken und unter wunden Fersen. Bis ich eine kleine Anzeige sah mit den drei einfachen Worten „Walk-on-air“, kybun Schuh. Danach änderte sich alles. Noch in derselben Nacht fand ich im Internet alles, was ich über kybun wissen musste, und ehe ich mich versah, hatte ich mein erstes Paar kybun Schuhe bestellt. Wenn ich nun behaupte, dass das Gehen auf Luft eine wahre Wonne ist, dann ist das keine Lüge. Die ersten Momente in meinen kybun Schuhen fühlten sich an, als würde ich noch einmal Laufen lernen. Dieses Mal schmerzfrei. Es war ein wunderbar angenehmes und überwältigendes Gefühl, als ich meine ersten Schritte machte, denn meine Knöchel mussten sich an die Weichheit des Fußbetts erst anpassen. Als ich den Dreh herausbekommen hatte, bemerkte ich sofort, dass die Schmerzen in meinem unteren Rücken nachgelassen hatten. Mir fiel auch auf, dass ein Großteil des Drucks, der zuvor von meinem Rücken abgefedert wurde, nun weggeleitet wurde und dass mein Körper beim normalen Laufen viel entspannter war. Die Wärme in meinen Fußsohlen entwickelte sich viel langsamer, und im Allgemeinen habe ich beim Laufen keinerlei Schmerzen mehr. Vielen Dank an kybun für dieses angenehme Gefühl beim Laufen. Ein wunderbares Geschenk! Sie sind ein Unternehmen, das nicht nur auf seine Schuhe stolz sein darf, sondern auch auf seine aufrichtigen und herzlichen Mitarbeiter, die wirklich Erstaunliches leisten. Ich kann Ihnen gar nicht genug danken!
