Activities – A healthier workplace

The kybun office

The revolutionary kybun movement concept is a simple way to improve workplace ergonomics

Exercising while standing upright on the springy elastic kybun mat is the healthy alternative to sitting passively. The springy elastic structure of the mat subtly keeps the foot and leg muscles in constant activity in order to maintain balance and posture. What’s more, combining the kybun mat with a standing desk is an important part of health management. A comfortable workplace increases motivation and employee satisfaction and reduces sick leave absences.

Health Care

Long and intensive days are common in the healthcare sector

Long and intensive days are commonplace in the healthcare sector. Dr Konrad Birrer, consultant certified by the Swiss Medical Association in Lucerne, Switzerland, is impressed with the shoe's efficacy: «kybun shoes are an effective tool for proprioceptive training. You can wear them at all times and they are very comfortable. I was able to relieve the strain on my Achilles tendon just by wearing kybun shoes. I didn’t need any specific therapy, as the springy sole strengthened the stabilising muscles in my ankles and relieved the overstrained muscles. I would advise wearing kybun shoes after injuries to the lower extremities and I’d recommend them for jobs where you’re required to stand all day».
