surprised how comfy it is Jul 13, 2007
By lisa
My chiropractor put a few of these on the waiting room chairs and while I initially shied away from it (it looks strange, right?) I eventually sat on one as I became curious. I have to say, I was pleasantly surprised by the springiness of the disc and the relief on low back muscles. I don't think you can sit on it and help bouncing a bit either because it feels so good to do so. I also found that the disc decreases tension/resistance as you lean over to pick up a book, drink etc. I'm thinking of getting one for my car and possibly for inexpensive gifts...Note the only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that I don't find this shade of blue particularly appealing; it's slightly dated.

 Seating disc Apr 06, 2008
By Regine Carre
This a great product to use if you are seating in front of a computer for long period of time. The seating ball forces you to sit up straight and causes the spine to stay straight. It helps relieves back ache and shoulder ache.

OT Must have for kids in the Classroom Mar 13, 2009
By Dorothy J. Wenger
I'm an Occupational Therapist working in a private school and this cushion has helped many kids with low tone, ADHD, and children with sensory issues. The teacher even commented on how the kids were not getting up and moving around as much. She also said it was nice to see them concentrating on getting their work done. It has really helped kids in the 1st and 2nd grade. I am also experimenting with some low-engine kids in jr. high. I am very pleased with this product and it is cheaper than on therapro site.

 Works as advertised, but strong odor. Sep 17, 2010
By Turtlewizard
I've had my Fitball Seating Disc for about two years, and while it does what it says, I wouldn't buy one again.
Pros: It provides a gentle workout for the back--though not as much as sitting on a balance ball does--and also reminds me to sit up straight.
Cons: (1) You have to blow it up by mouth, as no pump is provided (buying one from a third party is always an option), and no instructions are provided to tell you so. (I called the company.) Inflating it by mouth isn't necessarily a drawback for someone with no respiratory problems, but if you have asthma or other COPD, see Con #2.
(2) The chemical odor of the material is indeed as strong as many users have reported, and although it abates after a while, it never goes away.
I was reminded of this today when I decided to blow some air into it and found that the smell, though much less intense than two years ago, when I kept the window of my workroom open for weeks (even now I can smell the odor from a distance), had rubbed off on my face. I'm now considering discarding the disc. From an ergonomic point of view it's a useful product, but people with lung problems or those who worry about the chemicals in plastic may want to forgo it and learn to do pelvic floor tilts instead.

simple and fun Jan 08, 2007
By Glorificous
"anonymous"
I got this as a gift and just love it. You wouldn't believe how difficult it is to balance on it without using your legs. It's fun and you can just use it while you're watching TV. How could that be wrong?
