ErgoErgo’s Active Seating Benefits Makes it the Healthiest Choice

traditional sitting vs.ErgoErgo active sitting

Did you know that traditional sitting places 300 pounds of pressure on your lumbar spine, even if you weigh far less? No wonder we get lower back ache!
But when you sit on ErgoErgo with both feet flat on the ground, you relieve your back by transferring pressure where it belongs, into the ground.
icon
Back pain is often caused by the drying out of your intervertebral discs aka your “shock absorbers”.
When you sit on ErgoErgo, even slight twists through constant micro movements help keep them moist.
icon
Sitting motionless on traditional rigid chairs can cause organ damage, muscle degeneration, poor circulation, leg disorders, and brain fog.
But when you sit on ErgoErgo, your swaying, balancing, and twisting movements help produce brain-derived neurotrophic factor, or BDNF, which Harvard psychiatrist, John Ratey, MD, calls “Miracle-Gro for the brain.”

Slouching can cause misalignment of the muscles, strain your secondary muscles, hinder your breathing, and permanently damage your spine.
ErgoErgo encourages you to get in touch with your body, to sit upright using your muscles properly while staying energized.

How Active Sitting with ErgoErgo Supports Your Body

How ErgoErgo works: simple motion and balance combine to deliver active seating benefits and gentle core engagement.

  • Flexible bellows design compresses slightly under weight, matching standard chair height while allowing controlled multi-directional movement throughout the day.
  • Micro-movements boost circulation and oxygen delivery to the brain, supporting alertness and reducing fatigue during prolonged sedentary tasks in daily life.
  • Pelvic adjustments and subtle tilts encourage proper spinal alignment, relieve lumbar pressure, and help maintain intervertebral disc hydration while sitting.
