Your innovative Chair for Active Sitting
Active sitting is a new trend. It is currently discussed based on extensive research which shows many benefits.
Sitting in front of a desk for many hours everyday is the usual routine for many people. Although this cannot be avoided. It is detrimental for our body.
Humans were not intended to be spending most of their lives in offices in front of computer screens. The human body was not designed to be sitting for such extensive periods of time.
Extensive sitting creates burden for our back which results in weakening of the addominal and core muscles and in stiffness of the lower back and pain.
Sitting on a swiss ball introduces the concept of “Active Sitting”, since sitting on an unstable surface forces our body to constantly try to correct its posture and balance itself on the ball. This constant movement and upright position to achieve the right sitting strengthens the core muscles, but also the lower back and pelvis muscles.
