Balance ergonomic seat is a cushioned seat with an unstable sitting surface that activates your postural muscles. Sit strong – "deskercise"! With the balance seat, you improve your posture, mobility, balance and strength while sitting.
Activate your muscles while you work or study. You can place the seat on any stool, chair or sofa as the function does not depend on the surface. Alternate use with short breaks to gradually build up strength. To strengthen your torso properly, Balance ergonomic seat is more unstable than a pilates ball. In addition, it is discreet enough for the office.
