Stability Ball or Chair in Fayetteville AR?

While it takes getting used to sitting on a round object that is somewhat unstable, the instability is actually a good thing: it activates your core muscles to keep you sitting up straight. Strengthening these muscles can help relieve fatigue over time and promotes work done during adjustments. Swapping your regular chair out for an exercise ball for twenty minutes during your work day can be a refreshing break for your back.

Some things to consider when choosing the right exercise ball:

• the height of your desk
• your height
• your leg length
• your company culture - would a gray stability ball fit in better than shocking pink?

Make sure you have easy access to your mouse, keyboard, and any other tools you use regularly. Make sure also that you can sit comfortably, with your legs bent at a right angle.

When you're not using it as a desk chair, you can tuck your stability ball away in a corner. If your office offers privacy, you can take exercise breaks for your back during the day. Try using the exercise ball to do some sit ups or an arch over the ball, with all fours on the ground, to stretch out.

Routine chiropractic adjustments can help build core strength over time, and any core exercises you can do throughout the day can help too. If you find that your back is fatigued at the end of the day, scheduling an adjustment with Dr. Myshka will help keep you energized for longer. Call (479) 442-0676 to schedule an appointment.
