The Bambach Saddle Seat is the optimal working chair. It provides a comfortable, upright posture that maintains your natural spinal curves. Your back, neck, shoulders, legs and hips are relaxed. You're in balance. 

Back and Neck Pain
Back and neck pain are the most common work related musculoskeletal disorders, and the most costly. Over 70% of the population will suffer from back or neck disorders at least once in their lifetime.

Conventional seating does not address the problem. When you sit in a conventional chair your spine assumes an unnatural position, resulting in a flattening of the lumbar curve. Leaning forward to work displaces this curve even further, increasing spinal pressures. This can cause serious and painful damage.

The ideal sitting posture is the one used when we sit on a horse. The hip joints are in their resting position with a bend of 45 degrees. The spine assumes its natural alignment and spinal disc pressures are reduced. Many horse riders report they suffer from severe back pain on the ground, yet find relief when mounted in the saddle. The Bambach Saddle Seat reproduces this phenomenon, enabling balance and mobility in an upright position.

The Bambach Saddle Seat was designed by occupational therapists and an engineer to maintain the spinal alignment and leg circulation. By working in a more natural, correct posture, you are at less risk of neck, back or arm strain.

It also encourages mobility. Your feet are poised and free to propel you about your workspace. You can get up and down with ease. You can move your arms freely and with greater control. And you can bend forward and reach further with less strain than with conventional seating.

Office workers, dentists, surgeons, hairdressers, musicians, lab and assembly workers, students, librarians, and people who work at high counters. Useful for people with back, neck or arm pain and children and adults with neurological or musculoskeletal disorders.

Dentists and surgeons
Musculoskeletal disorders are common among dentists and surgeons. This work demands high precision and is often performed with the arms abducted (away from the body) and unsupported and the neck flexed forward and rotated for long periods of time. This creates high static loads (muscle tension) in the neck, upper back, and shoulders. In addition, dentists and surgeons using traditional seating have a tendency to bend forward from the waist rather than from the hips. The result is stress on the spinal discs and the surrounding soft tissues of the spine.

Bambach with Body Support Arm for dental assistants.

Musicians
Musculoskeletal disorders are common among drummers, pianists, string players, and others. Playing a musical instrument demands high precision with the hands. In conventional seating, the body's center of gravity is behind the pelvis, which forces the spine to round and the arms to reach excessively forward to play the instrument. This strains the neck, back, and shoulders. The Bambach Saddle Seat moves the body's center of gravity forward, thus allowing closer access to the instrument, reducing postural strain and providing greater freedom of movement to the arms and legs.
