Saddle Stools & Ergo

Dynamic saddle stools for back-friendly work in podiatry, wellness or beauty settings

Saddle stools are back-friendly stools whose seat has a shape that resembles a saddle. Stools of this type are frequently found in podiatry practices, beauty salons and other medical or aesthetic work environments. They are versatile and, thanks to the special shape of the seat, provide optimum relief for the back whilst working. Dynamic saddle stools on castors also allow for maximum mobility. They are moveable and can be moved smoothly around the workspace, making it easier to access equipment during a treatment.

These are the benefits of a saddle stool on castors

Saddle stools are especially back-friendly stools. Their seat is modelled on a saddle, which allows for a more ergonomic and back-friendly seated position. As work chairs, saddle stools provide numerous benefits:

  • As the hips are tilted lightly forwards when sitting on a saddle stool, the spine retains its natural curvature. This, in turn, reduces strain on the back muscles and helps prevent back pain and tension.
  • The saddle-shaped seat delivers better distribution of body weight and provides greater stability and balance whilst sitting. This is especially beneficial if precision is key in the daily work life – for example, during medical treatments or podiatric or beauty procedures.
  • Dynamic saddle stools on castors make it easier to change position and simplify the daily work life by allowing you to move smoothly between different work areas without having to stand up. Like all mobile practice equipment, they ensure maximum versatility and optimum efficiency at work. Thanks to smooth-running castors and a swivelling seat, instruments, equipment and products required for the respective treatment are easily accessible at all times.
  • The seat of most saddle stools can be adjusted to suit individual needs. A slightly forward-tilted seated position reduces pressure on the femoral artery, so that blood circulation in the legs is improved. This means that a saddle stool optimises seating comfort and prevents heavy or numb legs, particularly when sitting for long periods in a static position.
  • The seat height of saddle stools can also be individually adjusted to suit personal needs and the height of the respective work surface or work area.

As a flexible, moveable and ergonomic seating option, saddle stools enhance the daily work life in podiatry practices, beauty salons and similar settings. They relieve strain on the back and support more relaxed and precise working. Tension and signs of fatigue can be prevented, and you can move freely within your working environment.

Our RUCK STOOL saddle is an especially back-friendly stool on castors with a variably adjustable seat angle of up to 135 degrees. On conventional chairs, the seat angle is often 90 degrees.
