THE IDEA -
The BALIMO works where others can't reach.
The name BALIMO® comes from BALance In MOtion. The chair was developed with the goal of loosening the lower spine and training coordinated movements in the lumbar region. With its patented 360° point joint integrated into the seat, BALIMO® enables three-dimensional movements that we have forgotten through sitting on conventional furniture. The spine naturally straightens, muscular imbalances are playfully eliminated, and new movement patterns are activated. Through natural, completely free movement while sitting, you reactivate this essentially natural ability to move.
The BALIMO principle – The patent for moving sitting
It all comes down to the point – because sitting is considered extremely harmful to health and motionless
Nature never intended us to sit on rigid surfaces. However, sitting on the BALIMO® is completely different! The patented ball joint provides the optimal distance from the spine, enabling three-dimensional, dynamic sitting. The body thus benefits from the positive effects on health and well-being – from head to toe.
Training the autochthonous muscles
Use the BALIMO to strengthen muscles that cannot be consciously controlled.
The muscles responsible for upright posture lie deep beneath the outer back muscles and are referred to as "autochthonous." What's special about them is that they cannot be controlled voluntarily, but only unconsciously. They are activated, for example, when sitting on a moving surface - almost automatically. The problem: When sitting for long periods of time on conventional seating, the autochthonous muscles are not challenged and atrophy. As a result, we react, for example, with poor posture, which restricts mobility and often leads to back pain. The patented design of the BALIMO® is able to specifically target and train the autochthonous muscles. The minimal distance between the ball joint (movement point) and the spine enables natural movement - as if walking while sitting. The padded seat also stimulates the deeper back muscles, as the pressure on the ischial tuberosities activates the muscles like an acupuncture point.
SITTING 2.0
Active sitting – for a strong back
We sit for up to 14 hours a day. Imagine what would happen if you could strengthen your body during this long time. This is precisely the approach of the BALIMO® movement trainer. BALIMO® is based on the idea of dynamic sitting. The patented technology ensures a permanent balancing of the body's center of gravity and pelvis, thus promoting blood circulation and dynamic muscle work while sitting.
The BALIMO®, with its 360° movable seat, also encourages an active, upright posture, which relieves strain on the spine and strengthens the muscles. The interplay of muscle tension and relaxation during training with the BALIMO® in everyday sitting is also important for preventing muscle-related complaints. Overall, the BALIMO promotes balance and posture awareness, thus leading to a better body image. Try it out.
BALIMO EFFECTS
Strengthen your health while others sit
Strengthens even deep back muscles
The ergonomically correct, upright posture
The responsible “autochthonous” muscles lie deep beneath the outer back muscles and cannot be consciously controlled.
They respond to stimulation, such as a moving seat, by automatically balancing and rebalancing. With the BALIMO®, these muscles are effectively trained and strengthened.
The spine automatically straightens
The three-dimensional joint of the
BALIMO® movement trainer represents a direct extension of the spine and automatically forces you to sit up straight, otherwise the seat would tip over.
This promotes muscle tone, especially in the back, and mobility. The body naturally straightens, tension and blockages are released, and the pelvis moves more smoothly.
Increases concentration and activates the nervous system
Constant movement on the BALIMO® stimulates blood circulation and supplies the body with oxygen. This increases concentration and stimulates the deep-sensing receptors in the tendons and muscle attachments. These then transmit messages to the brain via the incoming nerve pathways about the body's position in space. The brain must evaluate this information and transmits corresponding nerve impulses via the outgoing nerve pathways.
back to the muscles. The BALIMO® not only increases concentration but also activates the entire nervous system.
Optimizes cross-coordination
The BALIMO® allows three-dimensional movement of the pelvis in all directions while sitting. The seat can be tilted by 20° and simultaneously rotated in all directions. This creates so-called crossover movements of the extremities, i.e., movements that cross the body's midline, activating both cerebral hemispheres. The muscles respond with appropriate tension, thus ensuring proper posture. These dynamic, crossing movements train balance reactions.
Trains the pelvic floor
The BALIMO® creates a multitude of movement transfers from the pelvis upwards and downwards, restoring flexibility to the fascia, the body's connective tissue system. Monotonous everyday movements tend to cause these structures to stick together and lose their inherently high sensitivity. Fascia has a three-dimensional structure and is constantly stimulated by the three-dimensional movements on the exercise trainer. Furthermore, the BALIMO® can maintain the elasticity, resilience, and regenerative capacity of the fascia. The lumbar fascia, which also includes the pelvic floor, is particularly supported in its functionality by the variety of movements on the BALIMO®.
