WOBBLE CHAIR EXERCISES

If you have any concerns about your disc health or have suffered from low back pain and disc herniations, wobbling may be your new best friend. Learn more below about wobble chair exercises from your Richmond chiropractor below.

There are two parts to this equation - motion and water. And the good news is that you only need to wobble on the days you use your spine. See our disc injury page for more information.

How the Wobble Chair Works

The first part of the equation is motion at the joint level. If the joint is restricted, you may need your female chiropractor, Dr. Teresa Green, to perform a specific chiropractic adjustment to restore motion at the joint level first. Then you may maintain that motion by performing daily wobble low back exercises.

There are three basic motions in wobbling and they are designed to re-hydrate all sections of the disc: the arch and slouch motion targets the front and back of the disc. The side to side motion targets the sides of the disc. And the X pattern targets the remaining 4 corners of the discs. The back corners and back side of the disc are were most disc herniations occur.

Initially, you rest your hands on the wobble chair handles, but your goal is to rest your hands on your knees to increase the balance and proprioception needed to coordinate the motions. This will target the spinal stabilizing muscles which makes this a great core and low back exercise.
