Bambach Saddle Seat

 

| Health & Rehabilitation Ergonomical Seat

The Bambach Saddle Seat is designed to promote optimal seated posture in the human spine. A person sitting on a Saddle Seat automatically assumes the position that produces least stress for muscles, ligaments and joints, thus relieving stress on the lumbar discs and spine because the pelvis is properly positioned and stabilised. The pelvis is central and critical to correct spinal position because of the way it is attached to the spine by muscles and ligaments. Its position actually controls the curvature of the spine, and this, in turn, is pivotal to how much stress is induced on the spine when someone is seated.

The Bambach Saddle Seat is comfortable, and it provides a wide range of adjustments to help the individual find the most natural, comfortable sitting position. With the Saddle Seat, feet are able to have floor contact, the weight of the legs can be taken through the feet and the feet used to mobilise the whole body, allowing easy movement around a workstation. The Saddle Seat permits the pelvis to be held securely in its natural position so that, when leaning forward to work, the lean is from the hips and not the waist.

Show Promotional Message

Imagine a seat that promises a healthy posture, and improves fitness and wellbeing. The Benefits of the Bambach Saddle Seat have been validated around the world, even hailed (by some professionals at the University of Vermont) as the most revolutionary change in seating seeen in a century, and it has sold over 30,000 seat worldwide.

Mary Gale designed the award winning seat, combining her years of experience as an occupational therapist, horse rider and riding teacher to solve the problem of how to achieve correct posture while sitting at a task. Together with three colleagues, Mary researched studies on posture worldwide. The findings supported her theory that a person's spine is held in its natural curve with less stress when seated in a saddle. This prompted her to design a seat, based on the design of a saddle, for everyday use in the work place as well as for use with disabled people.

In 1998 The Bambach Saddle Seat won two major awards in the U.S.A., the first being The Adex award for Ergonomic Task Seating, and the second a Silver Award at NeoCon for Design Excellence for Desk/Workstation Task Chairs.

Copies of Mary Gale's research papers, presented at conferences in Beijing, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and London, and her book The Seated Spine & The Bambach Saddle Seat, are available on request. A research paper from the University of Toulouse, first published in France, and other published papers are also available. Recent case studies will be issued to Health Professionals on request.
