Message from the Inventor
Dear Rest-A-Desk User,
Congratulations on your purchase of Rest-A-Desk! I designed this device to
help alleviate and prevent back pain for computer users, although this
accommodation will certainly be of comfort to anyone.
A few things to remember when using Rest-A-Desk:
1. Make sure the unit is properly setup before use. In order to ensure your
painless experience from purchase to use, we have contracted with SPAR,
Inc. to provide free nationwide professional on-site setup of your Rest-A-
Desk. After your order ships, you will receive your shipment tracking
number and where to call to schedule the no-charge unpacking and Rest-A-Desk setup.
2. Chronic back pain is made worse by inactivity. The first thing a back doctor will tell you is, “Try to keep moving.” Fear
avoidance is when someone avoids situations that they fear will aggravate their symptoms.1As pain and fear are
embraced, activity decreases, mobility and pain tolerance are reduced,2and the sufferer’s condition can tumble into
chronicity and disability.3
You can be proactive about your pain by being as active as possible, which may only mean getting out of your bed
or chair once an hour to move/walk a little. This can prevent your muscles from stiffening up, and will make your
computing with Rest-A-Desk more pleasant as well.
3. Take care in following all instructions and warnings. Failure to do so will void the product warranty and seller’s
liability.
4. To prevent neck or eye strain, please take note of the ergonomic suggestions on p. 25 regarding the optimal
adjustment of your monitor.
5. The first word in Rest-A-Desk is “rest.” In order to fully enjoy the design benefits of Rest-A-Desk, train yourself to
relax into your chair/bed and headrest/pillow. Adjust Rest-A-Desk so that you can both (a) reach your keyboard
comfortably (while resting your arms is ideal); and (b) view your monitor comfortably, without being tempted to raise
your head or neck off your pillow/headrest. Let gravity be your friend. Periodically adjusting your angle of recline
(don’t forget to also readjust your keyboard and monitor!) is also a good way to give your back a break.
6. Because your pain relief is our mission, we offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. This way, you have time to enjoy
your Rest-A-Desk and still contact us if there is anything that we can do to exceed your expectations with Rest-A-
Desk.
