I’m sure you’ve read in the newspapers, heard on TV, and been bombarded about the importance of exercise to the human body. Keeping the body in shape is, of course, necessary for the muscles, heart, and other parts of the body to function properly. Many people choose to use a therapy ball chair for this purpose, since the exercises can be performed sitting down. If you decide to give this a try, you might consider getting an exercise ball chair.

When the ball is placed on a chair, it allows you to have a more comfortable position to exercise. This makes it easier for you to do the necessary exercises than standing up. It can be moved from one place to another without problem.

The exercise harness provides the necessary elements to prevent you from slipping or falling out of the chair while exercising. You are secure in your place, held by means of straps that, once fastened, will not let you slip regardless of the exercise you are doing. The harness allows you to focus on the exercise instead of worrying about losing your balance and falling.

There are a number of exercises that you can do with an exercise ball. However, it is recommended that when you start out, you bounce up and down on the ball for about 30 minutes a day. By doing this, it is claimed, you will find a neutral or comfortable position that will help your upper body, stomach muscles, and posture.

When some people found it difficult to balance, they just used the ball, so a chair was designed to accommodate this problem. This chair comes in several different styles in which there is a special frame built in that accommodates the ball. A harness, to fit this device, is especially useful for people who need special therapy but may not have the strength to handle the ball in the usual way.

Using the exercise ball is especially helpful if you have a lower back injury or a muscle strain. There are specific exercises designed to address these issues. Maintaining your balance stimulates the supporting muscles of the spine, improving posture and the way you stand. Many physical therapists use this form of exercise to correct back and posture problems.
