A FitBALL ® Seating Disc is an inflatable seat cushion that flexes in conjunction with the user's movements. These dynamic cushions are great for those looking for dynamic seating at their office, home, or school. Use one on your favorite chair. The FitBall Seating Disc can also be used on the floor for balance training, proprioception, and strengthening of the lower extremities. The FitBALL ® Seating Disc is sturdy and supportive for those who find a standard sit-down workspace or school environment uncomfortable, and offers terrific back and abdominal support while in an upright position. It's the ideal active seating solution to strengthen one's upper body while also improving core stability!
In this video below, Occupational Therapist Shannon Wylie demonstrates some easy exercises and how to use the FitBall Seating Disc.
