Help your Back Pain

I have had very painful sciatica pain for a long time. I have difficulty sitting at my computer at work or home for long periods. I decided to try the Balance Ball Chair. While it looks much smaller in person than in the photo, you need to make sure you inflate the ball high enough for you to sit properly. Also put the wheels with the brakes in the back or you might hit your ankles against them. Having said this, my back has been so much better than it has been for a long time, and I am able to sit at the computer at home much longer with more comfort, so I can get a lot of work done. I just have to figure out how to get my boss to buy one now! My Physical Therapist pointed out how I am also working my core muscles at the same time which will help my back in the long run. I highly recommend it!

I like my balance ball chair. I was concerned it would not be the right hight on my desk but it turns out i can blow it up a little more and gain an inch or release some air to sit a little lower. I have found my perfect fit. I also like how easy it rolls for me to reach my bookshelf. Its a much more embodied sitting experience and I have my small expressions, like bouncing or wiggling back and forth to stay in relationship with my desk experience.

I have been looking at the balance ball chair system for years. I finally bought one. It makes me sit up! I find it easy to use and comfortable. I use it while working on my desktop computer. I recommend it for anyone.

I've been eyeing the balance ball chair for YEARS...dropping hints to friends and family and FINALLY someone listened! I have to say that this is even better than I thought that it would be. My posture changed overnight!!! I sit in front of a computer 10+ hours a day and I ofen find myself with hunched shoulders, slumped down in my chair. That is a memory of the past. Believe me I am the total envy of my office!

I thought getting this chair would solve my sitting for a long time woes, but it just made my butt hurt. I tried letting more air out, I sat on it for a week but it really made my sit bones hurt. My back and core were fine, just where I sat on the chair hurt. Also, sometimes I wear a bit of a heel to work and I think you need to wear flats all the time to keep the proper alignment. I'm pretty bummed that I will be returning it.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I have noticed a big difference in my shoulders. They are not as tight and sore since using my ball chair.

The balanceball chair is awesome. The desktop guide book was extremely helpful for stretching.exercise. I sit at my desk long periods of time. This chair keeps me mindful of my posture which in turn helps with redusing neck and back strain. The workout guide is helpful also. A great workout for toning your body. Everything you need comes in the kit. LOVE...LOVE...LOVE IT
