balance ball chair
Has anyone ever tried to use a balance ball chair for better ergonomics?

Hey Tony,
I’ve never done it on stage, but I’ve practiced at home on a Swiss ball… I certainly sit up straighter and taller when I do!

Yes, I think so… of course, be careful! If you lose your balance, you can always stand up, instead of trying to regain your balance with a tuba in your lap!
The improved posture/balance/core stability should carry over when you’re back in a work/stage chair.
Of course, I’m not a physician and am not qualified to give physical advice, but anecdotally, I like it.
