!±8± Exercise Ball Chair - Bounce Your Way to Good Spine Health

The exercise ball chair is one of the most interesting looking contraption amongst the many ergonomic desk chairs available in the market. The chair literally comes with an exercise ball in it, encased by a surrounding frame structure. Some comes with rollers at the foot and some do not. Those that come with back rests, arm rests and rollers at the foot are the ones mainly used as work chairs at work and office. Those that have fixed legs are mostly used as home furniture, which also serve well as decorating pieces in prepping up the ambiance of the home.

Conventional ordinary chairs are made for normal usage and do not take into account the importance to eliminate stress and strain that are inflicted onto the body. In fact, some ordinary chairs when used on an extended basis will give rise to back aches and tired neck and shoulders. According to chiropractors and specialists, the ergonomic ball chair is designed to help enhance your concentration and minimize fatigue.

There is a certain approach to adopt when using the exercise ball chair. Sit at the center of seat, which is literally the surface of the ball. Adjust until comfortable. As you spend a few more minutes sitting on it, you will find that you need to exert a certain amount of balance just like you would on an exercise ball. If you are in the pink of health, you will have no problems managing it. In fact with the strain of bouncing and legs movements, you get to tone your muscles, stimulate blood circulation and reduce fatigue.

However, as we have seen the balancing efforts required for using the chair, those with preexisting ailments like lower back spinal and lumbar misalignment, will probably need to think twice before using the exercise ball chair as it could literally cause more harm than good. Check out your suitability with your family physician before committing to purchase. One thing is for sure, there are other ergonomic desk chairs more suited for those with pre existing conditions.
