My lumbar discs are shot. Has using this helped deal with this chronic condition?

I'm an therapist and ergonomic specialist, I just happened to be looking at this item and figured I'd throw in my 2 cents. I would recommend finding a chair with good back support and allow yourself to recline to a position where your trunk is approx.110-120 degrees with the floor. This position basically places some of the weight of your trunk onto the back of the chair rather than your lumbar spine and reduces the compressive forces that would normally bear down on your spine. Without knowing your specific medical situation you kind of have to take the advise with a grain of salt but I'd recommend something with dynamic and adjustable back support, I don't think this product would be great for your (or most people's) situation.

How tall is it from the ground to the top of the ball ? Thank you.

Because the chair is at work I am not sure of exact height, but I am 5' tall and it is the first chair I have ever had that my feet touch the ground. My daughter has one and she is 5'10". both of us agree that it is the most comfortable chair we have ever had at work. The secret is try different amounts of air....most times less is better.

I am 4'11" tall, just under the min height for this chair. will it still work for me? the child size only goes to 51" lol.

I am 4’ 11 3/8”, and I think the ball is too small. Just a quick video to show how short the chair is compared to me. Or maybe my desk is just tall. It’s definitely awkward, and I am thinking about sizing up on the ball or getting the leg extenders.

Does the back rest have a purpose aside from looks?

This is really supposed to be a stretchIng chair so yes, you use it as a crop to hold on to. I have also leaned against the back rest. But I feel the purpose of this chair helps you sit up straight (so you don't want to slouch or lean back). Also it helps take the pressure of my hips and back. I have degenerative disc disease and this chair really seems to help me get through the day at my desk job.

La compre por menos de 100 euros y la verdad que es una silla fantástica. Hay mucha gente que usa los balones de fitness sin ruedas, pero el problema esta, que para moverla, y colocarla en la posicion correcta (y no deformar la pelota) es molesto. Ademas trae un agarrador para moverla con mas comodidad (no es un respaldo lo que aparece atras). Creo que de las sillas que he encontrado tanto en almacenes como en Amazon es la mejor relación calidad precio

I've borrowed my co workers Gaiam Balance Ball Chair when she's been out of the office. I just loved it immediately, less back paid, less pressure on my legs and helped with my posture. I just had to get one for myself. It arrived today!!! Like a kid on Christmas I tossed my old uncomfortable office chair to the side and immediately put this together. I like the pop of color the green has....so that's about all the positives I can give. Assemble of the chair was very quick and simple. Inflating the ball however, with that ridiculous pump thing, I had to go into a conference room to put air in it. (just not appropriate to do while sitting at your office desk) The ball.....the ball is inflated to the max I didn't want to pop it. I placed it in the chair and it was like dropping a beach ball into it. This ball is SOOOOOO freaking small when I sat on it I could just about sit Indian Style on the floor!! I'm 5'10 about 150lbs. I immediately rolled it to the side and grabbed my neighbors ball and I'm sitting here typing this review in comfort. UPDATE 6/9/15: okay so I called Gaiam customer service about replacing the ball and was told to just give it a couple days to expand to it's full size. So today (day two) I came in and inflated more.....to my SURPRISE it's not perfect IT"S BETTER. I'm high yet still able to lean back on the back rest comfortably. This goes from 2 stars to 5 in my book. I couldn't believe it. If you think its to small on the initial opening let it sit in a warm space over night and then add more air......you'll be pleasantly surprised. Everyone at work is taking triple looks at my comfy, supportive, fun colored, new office chair! Love it. They should put a disclaimer in the description so people know what to expect. would have been helpful for me. Considering it? Go for it!!! Since I had it shipped to the office I don't know if I should return all of it or go in search of an adult sized ball. I did some digging and I see there are different sized balls on Amazon sold separately for 19.99. Seriously?! How do I just exchange the ball?! Hello, AMAZON? Anyone out there? I've spent allot of money on this site at least deliver the items pictured. The lady in the picture isn't squatting on the floor she's at desk level.
