Derek started BladeFlex Inc as a result of his personal struggles with a series of injuries from his prior carpentry business, as well from his sports activities. Having upper back issues is a problematic burden that many people face in their daily lives. On his road to injury recovery, Derek saw a need for a support device that was stronger, more adaptive and effective for long-term posture correction.
Driving, working at a desk, or working in the trades, and even sport activities,Ā creates a lot of forward moving positions, and resulting imbalances and bad posture form throughout the day.Ā Derek credits everyone from engineers, suppliers, his marketing and design team and physiotherapists –Ā all who were all part of Derek’s team who helped to create and launch his current product.

Derek Nolt: “It’s very rewarding to help the people who are dealing with very similar injuries that I personally experience on my road to injury recovery – from athletes to office workers”.
