Kou, verkramping & rugklachten op het werk

Kou en rugklachten op het werk gaan vaak samen. Kou maakt spieren stijver en vermindert de doorbloeding, waardoor de kans op verkramping, verrekkingen en rugklachten toeneemt — zeker bij fysiek werk in koude omgevingen.

Medewerker op een koude werkplek houdt de onderrug vast door verkramping

Waarom kou de spieren belast

Koude spieren zijn minder soepel en herstellen trager. In combinatie met tillen, bukken en repeterend werk stijgt de kans op klachten aan rug en schouders. Warmte en een goede werkhouding verlagen die belasting.

Wat helpt

Houd romp en onderrug warm; warmte ontspant de spieren en verbetert de doorbloeding.
Warm goed op voor zwaar werk en wissel houdingen af.
Zorg voor opwarmpauzes in een verwarmde ruimte.

Gerichte warmte aan de romp is een eenvoudige, effectieve maatregel: het houdt de spieren soepeler en beperkt koudegerelateerde verkramping. Meer over werken in de kou lees je bij het Arboportaal.

So the heater can be turned off

So I thought heated vests were much more expensive, but thankfully, thanks to you, that's not the case. It's very comfortable and heats up quickly. I recommend this product to anyone who spends all day outside in the cold. I should have bought it thirty years ago.

I had problems with the delivery

I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now. It warms up quickly, and the extra patches are perfect! This will get me through the winter! I had problems with the delivery, so I contacted them. A new one was sent immediately, and it's arrived now....

Nice warm body warmer

The bodywarmer looks great and is nice and warm. Unfortunately, it's too tight, but I sent an email and it's being exchanged for a larger size. Excellent service. So nice and warm all winter long.

More effective than turning the heating up a degree

I bought the Høgge body warmer for both me and my husband. It's been the best purchase for keeping us nice and warm. Whether it's walking, gardening, or just because you're feeling cold, this fantastic body warmer solves all of that. Highly recommended and more effective than turning up the heat.

An Ode to Gløde!

After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for indoor riding, and it's fantastic too! The elastic sides ensure a perfect fit and allow for plenty of freedom of movement. The control panels are on the outside, making it very easy to adjust the temperature on the go. When riding warm and relaxed, it's very pleasant to have the heater on. After the Øney from Gløde, which is super comfortable for outdoor riding lessons, I've now also tried their bodywarmer for...

Very happy with the bodywarmer

I'm very happy with the body warmer; it's easy and chic to wear over my sweater, but it also works under a jacket. I'm very happy with it.
