  • the device is suitable for use by the user standing or sitting.
  • a hollow body according to the invention causes a dynamic balancing in the person balancing thereon, which prevents permanent misloads. Spasms, tension, as well as nerve irritation and pain caused by damage in the lumbar and spine area can be at least reduced, avoided or even cured when balancing (for example, when sitting balancing).
  • the balancing device according to the invention can also be used on a seat due to the height of some of its embodiments. It is due to the design but also possible, the hollow body according to the invention as a support for conventional chairs, eg. B. with a backrest to use. In particular, the balance device can also serve as a clear seating increase, as z. B. elderly or children sometimes need to know the seat height of their existing seating to adapt to needs.
  • the present invention offers unique opportunities for jump or hip joint patients to regain their full range of motion in the affected joints.
  • Targeted sensorimotor training on the balance device in addition to the neuromuscular function (strength, endurance, coordination), the improvement of proprioception (coordination and balance) and especially through the labile surface in addition, the deep muscles are addressed and improved.
