HOW TO FIND OPTIMAL POSTURE ON THE BALL
It is a commonly held belief that sitting on a ball will improve or optimize posture.
This certainly can be true but is not necessarily the case. In fact, as the illustrations
below indicate, merely sitting on a ball does not necessarily require ideal posture
as one can easily resort to poor habits. An effective way to find optimal posture
while sitting on a ball is to engage in gentle bouncing. Bouncing on the ball tends to
promote ideal posture. Your body will naturally seek optimal alignment of the spine,
which provides the most comfortable position in which to bounce.
Bouncing on the Ballast Ball can be done with varying degrees of intensity
®
depending upon your comfort level. Do not round or flex your spine while
bouncing.
