Atlasbalans is developing a new standard in well-being
Intervju med Hans Bohlin, VD efter att Atlasbalans blivit månadens medlem i Tysk-Svenska Handelskammaren.
New innovative treatment of low back pain & frozen shoulder
Vibrations – information and safety during use
Our treatment device uses controlled vibrations as an active and healing part of the therapy. The vibrations stimulate tissue, increase circulation, and are a central component of the therapeutic effect.
This product is designed for professional use and should be used according to the instructions. Hold the device with a firm but relaxed grip, and keep it out of reach of children.
Although our vibration levels are significantly lower than those of industrial tools – approximately 2.5–3 m/s² depending on the measurement method – the product is subject to the same warning label requirements as all vibrating tools. Therefore, we want to provide a clear but nuanced overview of what the vibrations entail.
Important to know:
- The vibrations are intended to treat the client. A smaller portion may affect the therapist holding the device.
- With prolonged and repeated exposure to vibrations, there is a risk of so-called vibration injury, also known as “white finger” or Raynaud’s phenomenon. However, this primarily applies to tools with significantly higher vibration levels than ours.
- The device may be used for up to 75% of working time, with regular breaks.
- If you, as a therapist, experience numbness, tingling, or discomfort in your hands or arms – take a break and contact your employer, occupational health service, or a physician.
- Inform the manufacturer if any problems or discomfort arise when using the M1.
Measurement data for our device (M1):
- Directly measured vibration level (ah): 3 m/s², uncertainty (K): 1 m/s²
- Weighted value according to ISO5349 using HAVS-protect sensor: 2.5 m/s², uncertainty (K): 1 m/s²

Appendix:
Table for calculating HAV points – acceleration versus exposure time
Use 3 m/s² as a baseline. Depending on the intensity of the treatment given, the value can be adjusted up or down by 1 m/s².
Note: Actual exposure can only be determined through real measurements using, for example, the HAVS Protect hand sensor. See link below the table.

Atlasbalans receives two Good Design Awards in the US
Atlasbalans has received the international Good Design Award for both the new M1 and M2 Products. Founded in Chicago in 1950, Good Design remains the oldest and the world’s most recognized program for design excellence worldwide.
The Bohlin Family & The Core Principles
The idea for Atlasbalans was born in 2009 when Hans Bohlin wanted to create a wellness concept to ensure people long-term health.
Why do we get back pain?
Hans Bohlin is a successful economist who retrained himself as a therapist and expert in fascia and also became an entrepreneur and innovator when searching for a gentle type of treatment to increase mobility and agility.
