Saddle Seats are comfortable ergonomic options for people who are sitting for extended periods of time each day. I am often asked about my funny looking chairs in my practice so I thought I would run through the benefits of the Salli Sway Saddle Seat.
- Saddle sitting improves posture by strengthening the back.
- It improves balance, as the seat requires the individual’s hips to abduct (spread apart), thus stabilizing the pelvis and allowing the body to relax.
- Can alleviate back, neck, hip and arm pain by correcting the body anatomically.
- The Salli Sway Saddle Seat allows you to sit up higher than usual, making it easier to get up and down quicker. This adds to the idea that mobility is improved as you can now reach further and more safely without feeling like you are going to tip over!
These are just a few of the reasons but if you would like to try it out for yourself, let me know when you are next in for a session. It takes a while to get used to, but once you do, the benefits are astounding.
The Salli Sway Saddle Seats are now available for purchase at The Physicaltherapy Centre. There are two models available: the stool and the stool with back rest. The model with the back rest is more suited for office workers. Please send your inquiries to getbetter@tpcentre.com.au . Altertnatively check out Ergoport North Sydney for a full catalogue.
