What the Experts Say
Extract from ARE YOU SITTING WELL?
By Boris Ronvig, Licensed relaxation instructor, ergonomic
consultant.
Reproduced from " Dental Advisen" March 1996
"Research shows that pain in the lower back, spine,
shoulders and the neck increases as a function of
the time that the person is sitting in a position which
is ergonomically unsuitable
Bambach Saddle Seat is a unique Australian 'discovery'
which, in one fell swoop, has solved the ergonomic
problems with the sitting position."

"Have you ever sat in your surgery and day dreamed
About what you are going to do when you retire? I know
that my father who was a dentist did and on the due date
The boat was bought and the new golf clubs unwrapped.
However, like for so many it didn't go according to plan
as, since retiring, he has spent a huge percentage of
his
time either wracked with pain or in hospital having back
Operations. The boat has gone and even I can beat him at
golf.
………….I have been using one of these seats for about two
Months now. People within the surgery have commented
on my better posture and certainly my back feels better
and the sciatica has gone………………
Assessment of dental student posture in two seated conditions
using RULA methodology-a pilot study.

British Dental Journal Vol203 No 10 Nov 24 2007
RULA has identified that dental students using a Bambach
Saddle Seat were able to maintain an acceptable working posture
during simulated dental treatment and this seating may reduce the
development of work-related musculoskeletal disorder.

"…Practically unanimously electing in favour of the Bambach
Saddle Seat, in respect to well-being felt, Ms Verkindere concludes
that, compared to the standard seat which has demonstrated its
harmful nature for the back, the dynamic sitting position-the
spinal column quite straight, the vertebral discs absolutely
uncompressed on a slightly super elevated and very stable
seat-appears clearly more favourable."
