Beyond Ergonomics
Sitting-Related Pain: A Radically Different Approach
Since its inception, Blue Portance has redefined the way sitting-related pain is addressed by identifying its multiple underlying causes: restricted blood circulation, postural imbalances, and neurological disorders such as pudendal neuralgia, cluneal neuralgia, and coccydynia (tailbone pain). Inflammation, pressure sensitivity, and poor postural alignment further exacerbate these discomforts.
Our research confirms a fundamental principle: lasting relief requires restoring movement and postural balance.
Mobility and stability are not opposing forces, but complementary pillars of effective pain management.
This vision goes beyond traditional ergonomics by introducing a new paradigm for seated well-being, integrating comfort, postural correction, and the prevention of chronic pain.

The Ultimate Seated Experience
Blue Portance challenges traditional approaches: no longer does the user adapt to the seat—rather, the seat adapts to the user in real time.
Conventional seating forces a compromise: remain fixed in a rigid posture or constantly shift in search of a more tolerable position.
The multi-articulated structure of APORIA® seating—known as the ExoBase—redefines the seated experience by providing dynamic, adaptive support, transforming every seated position into a naturally balanced, pain-free posture.
This unique innovation creates a bioactive™ seating system that turns a passive seat into an active experience, where movement becomes the foundation of lasting comfort and postural well-being.
With APORIA®, we address the ultimate challenge of seated ergonomics: reconciling movement and stability while seated.
A Patented and Unmatched Technology
Our patented technology ensures a level of exclusivity unmatched on the market. Developed through over a year of dedicated R&D, it was designed in close collaboration with healthcare professionals and pilot users, before being tested in real-world conditions within hospital and rehabilitation facilities.
This rigorous approach reflects a long-term commitment to innovation, grounded in user experience and the integration of medical and technical expertise, with the goal of delivering optimal performance and uncompromising quality.
Release Your Body from Postural Tension
Thanks to its self-regulating dynamic mechanism, the multi-articulated structure forming the APORIA® ExoBase maintains a constant state of balance, allowing the body to naturally release postural tension. Each micro-adjustment seamlessly follows your movements, preventing rigidity and excessive compression, and delivering optimal comfort free from pain and postural discomfort, even during prolonged sitting.
Effortless Active Posture
With the APORIA® ExoBase, slouching is no longer an option. The structure promotes proper postural support without constraint or conscious effort. Its intelligent design naturally engages the body in a stable, aligned position, providing intuitive support without muscular fatigue or unnecessary tension.
The APORIA® Structure: The Exoskeleton of Comfort
The secret behind APORIA® seating lies in its multi-articulated structure—an innovation that pushes the boundaries of traditional ergonomics. It combines a curved base, four independent articulated pads, and an adaptive support element, creating a completely new category of seating systems, comparable to an exoskeleton.
This unique architecture, known as the APORIA® ExoBase, forms the shared technological foundation across all our seating solutions. Through the complex articulation of its components, it ensures continuous, self-regulated dynamic balance, naturally adapting to the user’s movements.
How Does This Innovation Work?
Curved Base: Adaptive Mobility
The adaptive curved base is designed to support large-scale movements while maintaining a consistently even distribution of pressure. By following the body’s natural motion patterns, it promotes dynamic seating—a fundamental condition for adaptive posture.
However, like any dynamic seating system, it could become unstable—and therefore uncomfortable—without the four articulated pads, which provide active stability and optimal support during movement.
Four Pads: At the Core of Dynamic Balance Stabilization
Regardless of the posture adopted, the four articulated pads provide continuous micro-regulation, responding to every micro-movement in real time.
This subtle stabilization mechanism transforms dynamic seating into a naturally balanced posture, without constraint or excessive muscular effort. This level of adaptability ensures optimal postural alignment and lasting comfort throughout the day.
Adaptive Wedge: Personalized Pelvic Support
Each individual has a unique spinal profile—lordotic, neutral, or flat—which naturally influences pelvic orientation (anterior, neutral, or posterior) to maintain balance in the standing position.
With the APORIA® ExoBase, this fundamental balance is restored in the seated position through an adaptive wedge that automatically adjusts seat inclination to respect the pelvis’s original natural orientation in a balanced posture.
Active Partnerships with Healthcare Professionals
Developed in collaboration with healthcare professionals, the Aporia® ExoBase was tested and validated in 2024 by :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0} in a study involving 100 patients experiencing pelvic, perineal, and lower back pain, under the direction of :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}.
It has also been used for over six months within the Back School of the Functional Rehabilitation and Post-Acute Care Center at :contentReference[oaicite:2]{index=2}. The outcomes confirmed the therapeutic benefits of dynamic seating in reducing pain and improving functional capacity.
In addition, :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}, an international reference in the field of coccydynia, invited Blue Portance to present Aporia® at the :contentReference[oaicite:4]{index=4}, in recognition of its potential.
