Description of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
The innovative BalanceBall Chair lets you reap the benefits of the popular BalanceBall right at your workspace. This patented design lets you do tension-relieving techniques while seated in the chair - or simply remove the ball to stretch and strengthen key muscles without a trip to the gym. Relieves stress on the spine, helps prevent back discomfort and repetitive motion disorders, helps prevent health issues related to poor posture, illustrates non-impact strengthening exercises and stretching and keeps you active, even on busy work days. When you sit in the BalanceBall Chair, the ball acts as a shock absorber and eases your body into an ergonomic position. When your muscles become stiff or whenever you want a break, the exercises in this guide will help you relax, build strength and foster a wide range of health benefits. Exercises performed with the BalanceBall in the chair offer maximum support, stability and convenience. Exercises performed on the ball alone allow greater range of movement. The BalanceBall Chair was developed with Dr. Randy Weinzoff a pioneer in chiropractic care. Trained at the acclaimed Palmer West University in California, Dr. Weinzoff runs his successful practice in Santa Monica, CA based on his philosophy of "Vitality through total alignment of the whole being." Some assembly required.The Gaiam Balance Ball Chair, developed under the consultation of a chiropractic pioneer Dr. Randy Weinzoff, greatly alleviates the aching back/legs/arms syndrome that comes from working at a desk for hours. Designed for people between 5-feet and 5-feet 11-inches tall, this unique "chair" employs the same balance ball used in your workout routine, but with it you also get an adjustable support bar, easy-glide casters, an air pump, and a desktop guide to help keep you moving. Designed by leading health and fitness experts, Gaiam back-care solutions build a healthier back, relieve pain, and improve your overall well being.
 The Balance Ball Chair is an effective tool for strengthening core muscles and improving spinal alignment. |

Sports reviews of Gaiam Balance Ball Chair (Black)
Customer Review: Not good if you have lower back problems
Sport shop rating: 2 Stars
I purchased this chair hoping to strengthen my abs and back to alleviate recurring low back pain. Unfortunately, it has actually made the problem worse. It seemed like a logical thing to do at the time: purchase a chair that's going to give "correct posture" , etc., but it turns out the what's correct posture for one person can be incorrect for someone else. Unfortunately, the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair does not allow for the level of adjustablility needed for me to sit comfortably in an office situation. Customer Review: The Best Darned Office Chair!!

I have now been using the Gaiam Balance Ball Chair at work for one month. My back & neck pain at the end of the day is gone. Having Scoliosis, Fibromyalgia and bad posture, that says a lot. No more slouching or rigidly trying to sit up straight. It's amazing how you just naturally and comfortably sit straight no matter how much multi-tasking you are doing. Three other people in my office are going to be ordering one as well. This is by far the best office chair I have ever had!! Customer Review: The best desk chair I have ever had
Sport shop rating: 5 Stars
I was having a major problem with my lower back from sitting 7 to 8 hours per day in a leather desk chair. My chiropractor recommended a Swiss Ball chair so I went online and found this one. It has almost completely solved the problem. Before the chair I was in so much pain every day - not I just get a twinge now and then. Customer Review: Don't even try to take my chair from me!

I love my Gaiam Ball Chair! My back hurts terribly when I sit upright. But sitting at my reception desk all day on the Ball Chair makes a big difference. At the end of the day I don't dread sitting in my car to drive home and I'm not exhausted by the time I get home. I won't go back to a regular desk chair after my Gaiam Ball Chair.Customer Review: I LOVE IT!!
