Doctor Riter’s ErgoChair

Written by

What Is It? Dr. Riter’s ErgoChair is a new and exciting ergonomic chair designed by a group of physicians, health practitioners and engineers in Switzerland to promote correct posture, to help strengthen the muscles in the abdominal area and the spine, and to take stress off the back and neck’.

What Does It Do? Most people who sit in front of a computer or at a desk for prolonged periods of time assume poor posture. It results in flattening of the lumbar spine and altered head carriage. This can result in chronic lower back pain, weak abdominal muscles, and neck problems that often lead to headaches.

Prolonged sitting in most office chairs can also cause poor circulation in the legs resulting in painful leg cramps or the sensation of the legs falling asleep.

The ErgoChair enables individuals to achieve proper posture. The egg-shaped flexible ball allows free movement of the body – up and down, back and forth, and side to side – for the body to find the best posture to relieve and prevent back pain. The egg-shaped ball can be inflated or deflated to the desired height for different individuals and an air pump is included for easy re-inflation. The ball can also be removed from the chair frame and used for stretching and exercising with included exercise manual.

By using the ErgoChair many different abdominal muscles naturally tense to tilt the pelvis and the lumbar spine flexes and extends reaching the balanced position of optimal function and stability. The muscles will then contract to hold the position. This makes the body aware of the correct posture. After about one to two weeks of use, you will notice that you have better posture sitting in any chair.
