Life is movement
With the BALIMO Movement Trainer, we've developed a product that adds a new dimension to sitting. With the patented 360° ball joint, we've taken advantage of a very simple fact. Constant movement stimulates blood circulation and nourishes muscle cells. The constant balancing of the BALIMO seat transforms everyday sitting into an effective workout that strengthens mobility, posture, concentration, and the body's nervous system.
The mind behind the BALIMO® – Eckart Meyners
Eckart Meyners never intended to build a chair. However, he needed an aid for the horse riding movement theory he developed. Thus, the BALIMO® was born.
Until then, riding theory was considered a movement theory for horses, but did not include a movement theory for humans. E. Meyners, however, wanted to make the diversity of human movement learning transparent to riders and trainers and developed the idea of a stool with a movable seat. With the BALIMO® movement trainer, he can address the rider's movement problems at their root and guide them toward an independent and harmonious dialogue with their horse.

The idea of Balimo®
Complete freedom of movement
What can the BALIMO® do?
The special feature of the BALIMO® movement trainer is its ability to stimulate the deep back muscles and promote natural posture. The BALIMO® joint, which is embedded in the seat plate, represents a direct extension of the spine. It allows the spine to rotate and move laterally in all directions within its own structure, because the torque is located within the body. This prevents blockages in the sacroiliac joint and restores mobility. Furthermore, the BALIMO®'s movable seat stimulates the acupuncture points on the ischial tuberosities and stabilizes the native pelvic floor muscles. The variety of movement options, as well as regular loading and unloading, help maintain flexibility in both the intervertebral discs and vertebrae.

BALIMO IN COMPARISON
This is crucial to achieving the most natural movement possible while sitting. The seat's point of movement should therefore be as close as possible to the body's natural point of movement – the pelvis. Only then can you ensure that the pelvis can move as if suspended from the spine, perfectly straight toward the center of the body. If the chair moves too far away from the pelvis, the spine bends in the compensatory movement, which literally impairs the effect, as can be seen in this comparison.
