We are in an age wherein we spend most of our time in front of the computer. Either for work or leisure, people spend 8 to 15 hours sitting and typing away or surfing the worldwide web. Due to this lifestyle, a lot of people experience backaches or back pain especially at the lower portion. We are also in an era where time is so scarce that it seems we do not even have enough to spare for exercising the core muscles which prevents back pain and maintains good posture.

Lower back pain is often caused by sitting for hours, especially with a bad posture, and by having weak core muscles. Developing these muscles is the key to improving our posture and eventually getting rid of the pain in our lower backs.

The core muscles are the muscles found in our abdomen, hips, back, and pelvis. Doing crunches is not enough to develop all these muscles. So having six-packs do not, necessarily, mean we have strong cores nor does the absence of distinct six-packs mean we have weak core muscles. Most of the core muscles lie beneath the six-pack muscles so their improvement is not really seen by the naked eye.

Because of this dilemma, a chiropractor, Dr. Randy J. Weinzoff (who is also a member of the National Strength and Conditioning Association, specializing in exercise and sports rehabilitation, and chronic pain alleviation) developed the Balance Ball Chair. This chair is an ingenious invention combining a Pilates ball and an office chair.

So what is it? Well, remember those exercise balls (also known as the Pilates ball, yoga ball, therapy ball, Swedish ball, fitness ball, or gym ball) that they told us to sit on in front of our desks? Well, this chair is a combination of the ball and an office chair. Therefore, we won’t have to be scared that it might drop us and roll away if we make huge, sudden movements. However, this chair is only for those who are 5 feet to 5 feet and 11 inches tall. They must also be below 300 pounds.

Like the typical fitness ball, using it needs getting used to but it is all worth it in the end. Slouching on this chair will cause backaches but sitting with a good posture will inevitably improve the core muscles. It is also advisable to raise your leg or legs every now and then while sitting, and to get up to move around once in a while.

To check out the Balance Ball Chair, you can purchase it from many popular stores online. It may cost anywhere from $64.95 to $83.95. Presently, this chair is suggested for people who are 5′ to 5′11″ and those who weigh up to 300 lbs.
