The Bad Back Shop is the New Zealand agent of the German-designed Swopper chair, and we are excited with this example of 'interactive', 'dynamic' seating — It is "active sitting"!
Active sitting means you're sitting while actively stabilizing your torso the entire time.
Using the Swopper
You always sit correctly on the "swopper" automatically. Sitting evenly ensures maintenance of the spine's natural "double S" shape, a posture in which the intervertebral discs are placed evenly under shifting pressure and not in a one-sided way, such as when sitting with a rounded back. In addition, due to the swaying motions on the "swopper" and the compensating movements from side to side, the intervertebral discs are always placed under and relieved from pressure. This ensures proper metabolic action and nutrition of the intervertebral discs.
While sitting on the "swopper", back, abdominal and skeletal muscles are minimally, yet constantly active. Muscles working dynamically do not tense up, tire less quickly, are better supplied with blood and also remain lightly exercised at all times.
Manufacture
The Swopper is constructed of high quality materials, made from robust German engineering. This is not some cheap plastic chair. This is not a 'lazy chair' with cushions and backs and other features. This chair will enhance your health.
