“Ergotherapy has been supplying African Bank with office chairs and couches for the past two years.Their service level is excellent, and all chairs are made of high quality. In addition, they have a team of physiotherapists, who after installation of the chairs, come through and sit with each employee and align the chair to the employee’s posture, desk, etc. I would highly recommend Ergotherapy as a supplier.”
Chiquita Schram - Project Revamp Team, African Bank
“We have been dealing with Ergotherapy since 2004. At this stage we only ordered directors chairs from them. The demand for their chairs grew at an alarming rate as more of our staff members discovered what the difference was to the previous chairs we used. During last year we replaced all our boardroom chairs as well as our Cape Town chairs with their ergonomically designed chairs. Gary and the team have given us absolute excellent service at all times, both before and after sales. The added benefit of someone coming to show how the chairs must be used and attending to the individual’s needs is priceless. We will definitely continue our relationship as and to when the need arises in the future.”
Billy Smith - Facilities Manager, Bowman Gilfillan
“I should have thanked you ages ago for sorting out my secretaries and myself. Everyone’s backs and moods are better, and I don't get the terrible headaches I used to get. I never thought that a chair and a few changes of office space could make such a difference to wellbeing!”
Dr. Ilsa (Micky) Orrey
“I LOVE the chair. It is the best investment I’ve made this year!”
Dr. Rehana Bhorat
“During recent months we completed our tender process for furnishing the new School of Public Health building. During this time we looked at various office furniture suppliers and, in particular, were concerned about the type of office chairs that we had to buy. After many deliberations, and with the very generous assistance and advice, we chose the GetOne® Visitors chairs, as well as the GetOne® Highback office chairs which were supplied by Ergotherapy. Our choice was not based on cost, but more on durability and comfort, bearing in mind that people spend most of their working time at a desk and computer.I am hereby confirming that we are extremely happy with our choice. We were given personalized service from Ergotherapy, in that a qualified Physiotherapist was sent to assist each staff member in the building to set up his/her chair. We have now been using these chairs for 4 months and all staff are extremely happy with the product that we have chosen.I can certainly recommend the chairs from Ergotherapy in terms of comfort, style, quality and after-sales service.”
Marlene Petersen, Senior Administrator – SOPH, University of the Western Cape
“Thanks for your efficient, friendly service. All the staff love their ergonomic office chairs which are both well designed and comfortable and can be adjusted to suit individual needs. As we purchased our first chairs years ago we know they are very durable as well. The moulded seat and back support improves posture and prevents backache and with an improved work environment comes better productivity. Thanks too for your good advice on our seating, desk and computer setups. Much appreciated.”
Liz Masson - Horizon Capital (PTY) LTD
“I just received my chair in perfect condition. I hope this comfort lasts forever. It is the best purchase I have ever made, I feel absolutely no strain anywhere on my body, my lower back has never been supported this thoroughly/completely.”
Nasreen Razak - Junior Civil Engineering Technologist - HHO Africa
“My chair arrived this afternoon and it looks great! From my side, I wish more companies were as efficient and helpful as you have been. Clearly client service is at the forefront of your focus as a company (as is evident, for example, by only requiring payment once I have received the chair back, and not before the project starts etc.). I really appreciate all the assistance you and your colleagues have given me. Thank you so much :)”
Matthew Gardner
“I am 20 years old with a herniation between L4 and L5 on my spine. Being this young with such an injury is not a good thing I’ve been told and therefore we are trying to avoid surgery as far as possible. I've been told that as soon as I have unbearable pain, permanently, I have to get the surgery. Thanks to your chair I experience a lot less pain than before! I can definitely feel the difference in my lower back! The support your chair gives is absolutely fantastic and sometimes even lets me pain-free when I've been studying a lot for long hours.”
Heidemari
“I love my chair and find it makes a big difference. Since using this chair I can sit longer working on my PC and can manage my lower back problem-related pain much better. I found your service extremely efficient and friendly. Thank you very much!”
Heidi Fickl
“Gary, I am a practicing professional of 8 years. I have never sat in a chair as comfortable as this loan chair. It is the most extraordinary feeling going home in the evenings and my back actually feels rested. A sensation I have actually never experienced and hence why I am making such a big deal out of it!”
Tim Prins - BA Interior Design & Accredited Green Building Council Professional
“Just wanted to say thank you for the amazing chairs for my boys. All the adjustable parts (backrest, armrest, height etc.) makes it really adaptable to my 5 and 7 yr old. My oldest is a bit low toned and this chair really places him in the correct posture but allows him some freedom of movement as he finds sitting still for long periods of time difficult.”
Nowa van Wyk, physio and mom of GetOne® Junior users
“I just want to thank the staff at Ergotherapy for the professional manner in which they conduct themselves. I ordered two chairs from them which they delivered before the date they said it would be done. With the one chair I had requested a synchro mechanism as I thought that it would make my life easier. Turns out that the mechanism did not suit my body type at all. I contacted Ergo Therapy about this. They sent one of their staff (who is a qualified physiotherapist) out to come and assess the situation. She immediately saw the problem and they replaced the chair, no questions asked, with one that was better suited for my back. Most companies do not care what happens to their clients once they have made the sale. Ergotherapy is one of those rare companies that care more about their customers than their bottom line.”
Shaun de Greeff
“Almost five years ago, after a week-long stay in hospital, requiring morphine & several more weeks of expensive recovery for a chronic back problem, it was obvious that I needed to take drastic action to improve matters. Working long hours at my desk I needed a stable & supportive orthopaedic chair to help ensure I kept the correct posture required to keep a healthy back. My GetOne® Ergotherapy chair proved to be a perfect solution, and after five years of intensive use, it continues to be one of the best investments I've ever made. I strongly recommend this chair to anyone who suffers, or who has suffered, from back problems. Angela Hendricks and her Cape Town Sales Team also provide a superb service, ensuring rapid, problem-free delivery. This company is really outstanding!”
Jo Dickson - Business Optimisation Manager, Protea Hotel Stellenbosch
“I was told that I need a very dangerous neck operation in March 2012. My specialist said because he has to work so close to the neck nerves he would rather put it on hold for a while until the pain becomes absolutely unbearable. In April I bought a Get One chair and when I moved from company I insisted on getting a GetOne chair. Now in May 2013 I can happily say that my problem has improved with 80% and no neck operation is needed. Well done with an excellent product.”
Prof H J de Jager - Deputy Vice Chancellor: Academic
“My GetOne® Ergonomic Chair was recommended by my physiotherapist after experiencing continuous headaches. Poor seating posture was to blame for the sustained tension in my neck and back causing regular headaches. The chair improved my posture immediately and consequently reduced the associated symptoms and pain. I will definitely recommend the GetOne Ergonomic Chair. They should make it a must for every company.”
Marlene Bothma - Woolworths Supply Chain Development
“Ahhhhhh GetOne® I looooove youuuuuuu! Do you realise that seriously I had the most hard-core back and neck problems - at physios once a week it was absolutely hectic I couldn't sleep! a new mattress didn't even do the trick. I have never had back pain again since getting one. I really am your biggest fan.”
Liza Ackerman, Graphic designer, Overactive
“My son Firoz is absolutely enjoying his chair. The rubber on the wheels really prevents the chair from moving a lot. It's still early stages to comment on improvement in length of concentration but due to the comfort of the chair he is concentrating longer. The adjustments of the chair I do as he finds it a bit difficult to do them on his own. Thanks for a fantastic chair!”
Halima Ebrahim, mom of a GetOne® Junior user
“Thanks, we have received our chairs and I would like to mention that these chairs are amazing and I can definitely recommend it to anyone suffering from back or shoulder pains! What a pleasure to now actually enjoy working behind a desk and computer.”
Margaret Mellet - Coordinator: Transformation Unit
I am very comfy in my NetOne® :) Have spent many hours and extended periods sitting on the chair with 0 discomfort on my coccyx and back.
Dino Fizzotti
“I was thrilled to find Ergotherapy as a complete solution to my office desk needs. My custom-made office chair and laptop stand have already made a significant difference to my comfort. Having a physical disability, my needs were rather unique (I type using my foot!) so the physiotherapy input was extremely helpful and the footrest turned out to be the perfect platform for my keyboard on the floor! Thank you!”
