Bambach Saddle Seat 
The Bambach Saddle Seat is shaped like a saddle to enable the body to maintain ideal posture when sitting. With the Saddle Seat there is no need for lumbar support because the correct lumbar curve is maintained naturally rather than artificially. The seat provides all the adjustments to allow the sitter to find a "natural" spinal position. The back rest on the seat is optional being used purely as a "rest" and adjusts for height and angle.
Some of the Special Benefits Of The Bambach Position In Therapy
Back Pain Management
The Bambach allows a posture of least intradiscal stress; the pelvis is upright and secure so that the spine has its Natural curves just as when standing. As this is the position of least intradiscal stress people sitting on The Bambach report relief from back pain. In the case of workers, this can improve the chances of their not having to take time off work. For those who must have time off to recuperate, The Bambach can allow them to return to work sooner.
Postural stability
Because The Bambach can hold the pelvis in a very stable position, the proximal joints can also be stabilised more effectively for movement of distal joints. This is often an issue in cases of hemiplegia and cerebral palsy. The shoulder girdle is in the position of maximum stability and function when the pelvis and spine are in their natural alignment, and this assists with arm and hand control.
Improved hand control
As a result of good posture, the shoulder girdle is stable in its ideal neutral position allowinggood arm and hand function as well as the head and neck being in the ideal position for performing their tasks.
