Limitations

When researching the problem of lower back pain online i found out that the deteriorating of tissue between vertebrae is caused over time by great pressure being applied in stationary position of the spine. Just like my physiotherapist had told me this can be prevented by applying more movement to the spine.

The Ruby Rocking Chair and the Placentero Chair have started to tackle this issue but the movement of the spine when seated in these chairs is still fairly minimal.

The Ruby Rocking Chair is restricted to straight back and forward movement and although the Placentero chair is able to move freely in any direction, because of the solid, sphere-like shape of this the movement is of the body as a whole rather than moving the spine and its position.
