Many of us, especially office workers, spend hours in a day sitting. And most of us are either sitting in badly designed chairs, or just have bad posture and are sitting incorrectly.
This then results in neck strain, shoulder and back pain, which can then cause headaches and affect your sleep.
Most of us would have been told as children to ’sit up straight,’ and this couldn’t be truer, but when we are busy multi-tasking this sometimes escapes us. Ergonomic designers have spent years designing chairs that help us to sit, work and perform better. With some, leading the way in design and use.
The Isokinetics Inc. Adjustable Back Exercise Ball Chair is the first of it’s kind. This incredible chair includes a weight bearing, adjustable back seat, over your conventional exercise ball. With other chairs, they offer seat backs, that only provide for position guidance, along with balance assistance. With the Isokinetics Inc. Adjustable Back Exercise Ball Chair, you are able to actually lean back and relax, just as with a typical office chair. You can also position it on your lower back for more support, to enhance a proper, upright seating position.
While at work or home, sitting on an exercise ball, can promote better flexibility, coordination, motor skills, balance and even core strengthening. While sitting on a ball, your body makes small adjustments, often unnoticed, to remain balanced, while doing this it is constantly working a large group of muscles.
While you work and strengthen muscles in your core muscle group, this aids in helping to improve your posture. While in turn it gives you better balance and aims to prevent back injuries. In the beginning, it may take some getting used to the chair, as your core muscles may have not been worked as much before, but by starting to use it for 10- 15 minutes a day, and slowly working your way up, you soon will not want to be sitting on anything else.
Don’t forget if you currently have back pain or problems, consult your physician before using any new chair.
