We have a range of products for sitting including sitting wedges, balance discs, peanut rolls and child sized gym balls. These help kids learn to sit upright with an activated core, and work postural muscles to improve endurance and strength. Some children struggle to keep their postural muscles turned on while sitting still, so having a sitting wedge allows some movement while maintaining good posture. The wedge also helps tilts the child’s pelvis to ensure back is straight and activated.
Doing some exercises on a gym ball, or standing on a balance disc helps improve postural reactions, body awareness and balance. However it is important that gym balls are correctly sized and when sitting on a gym ball your feet should reach the ground and be able to firmly support your weight.
If you would like to practice balance activities at home or would like to start using gym balls in place of regular chairs and are looking for the right size ball, and a base to keep it steady we can help select the right product.
