Do Saddle Chairs Work?

All things considered, the saddle stool is pretty great. The backless design increases muscle activation—much like a stability ball or kneeling chair—and the saddle will rotate your pelvis forward, which maintains the spine's natural lumbar curve.

Are saddle chairs better for your back?

Saddle-sitting relieves back, neck, hip, and arm pain.

This in turn straightens the upper back, leading to a generally improved back posture and reduced tension in the upper back, shoulder girdle, and neck muscles.

Are saddle chairs good for posture?

Saddle-sitting strengthens the spine and improves posture.

Your posture will gradually correct itself as your muscles respond to the new posture. Saddle sitting improves leg circulation and reduces fatigue.
