To counteract “Numb Butt Syndrome” (NBS), I decided to give the exercise-ball-as-an-office-chair notion a try. I was encouraged that there was at least one coworker that I recently met that is happily using it, for both sake of embarrassment and efficacy.
Once decided, it was a quick task to visit my local chiropractor to purchase a ball. Did you know, however, that exercise balls need to “rest” for at least 24 hours after initial inflation, preventing any use? Or that one must be careful to change seating locations periodically to prevent deformation?
The verdict after the first day of the use? It’s softer than any chair I’ve ever had, and a lot more fun. My posture is going to take some time to improve though. And, of course, I got a lot of visitors gawking at the sight of a suit on a ball.
