Active dynamic sitting at school

More and more children suffer from back pain. According to physicians reason is, amongst others, a lack of movement and too long rigid sitting in the school. Already 6% of the 10-year-old suffer from back pain. Postural defects can result in postural damage.

Unilateral straining of the back muscles, poor supply of the discs and corresponding back problems occur not only in adults, but also in more and more children. Nature’s “construction” of their bodies is not created to sit, but to move. Nevertheless, children will have to spend a lot of time sitting, e.g. at school.

Therefore, ergonomics, physicians and scientists recommend in the context of the Association for Healthy Back (AGR e.V.) “moved sitting” also called active dynamic sitting:

Sitting on a movable support causes constant balancing movements and an interaction of tension and relaxation of the participating muscle groups. Also tissue structures and joints keep in motion. The discs are supplied with nutrients.

This process is largely unconscious, without a deliberate control. Most important recommendation is enough movement, which corresponds to the natural childlike urge for playing and physical activity. Simple exercises can already solve the problems. With the Dynair Ballkissen® Kids and Dynair wedge-Ballkissen® Kids, children sit not only upright, but above all actively and dynamically. Excess energy is absorbed by the mobility of the cushion. The children do not sit rigidly on the chair and power of concentration can be improved. The cushion is extremely space saving and kids can take it everywhere. A truly versatile device that combines health and fun in one.

    Präha: Why targeted training before surgery is so important
    TOGU | 27 April 2026
    Surgery is always a challenge for the body. Whether it is the knee, hip, shoulder or spine – every procedure means stress for the tissue, a phase of immobilization and then the arduous reconstruction. What many do not know: How well the body regenerates after surgery depends decisively on how well it was prepared beforehand. This is exactly where prehabilitation comes in – the preoperative phase in which targeted training sets the course for a better healing process.

    Daily Back Exercises: More Strength, Less Tension, Better Body Awareness
    TOGU | 23 April 2026
    A strong back does not happen by chance. It develops through regular, well-dosed movement – and through exercises that target exactly where we often do too little in everyday life: stability, mobility, and conscious body awareness. Back exercises do not have to be complicated or time-consuming. Just a few minutes a day can provide noticeable relief and offer long-term protection.

    Get Fit for Spring Outings: Stability & Strength for Hiking, Running, and Cycling
    TOGU | 20 April 2026
    As the days get longer and temperatures rise, we are almost automatically drawn outside. The first hiking trails become accessible again, running shoes are ready, and the bicycle is waiting to finally be taken out of its winter rest. But as great as the motivation in spring may be – the body often needs a moment to find its rhythm again. This is exactly where the real preparation for the outdoor season begins: with stability, strength, and mobility.

    Exercise builds strength: How we can encourage children to be more active through play
    TOGU | 15 April 2026
    Children naturally move in a very instinctive way. They run, jump, climb, balance – and discover the world in the process. But in the everyday life of many families, reality looks different: long periods of sitting at school, homework, digital media, and a tightly scheduled daily routine often cause natural movement to shrink. Yet movement is not only important for physical development, but also for concentration, self-confidence, and emotional stability.

    TOGU | 2 March 2026
    Getting started with training does not begin with perfection, but with a simple principle: consistency beats intensity. Especially in everyday life, which is often full, hectic, and unpredictable, movement quickly becomes secondary. Yet this is exactly where the key lies: When movement becomes a natural part of your day, not only your body changes – but your overall well-being as well.

    Heavy Legs? – How the TOGU Senso Vein Trainer can help
    TOGU | 2 March 2026
    Heavy legs, feelings of tension, or tired calves in the evening – many people are familiar with this unpleasant problem. Those who sit or stand a lot, or who get little exercise, quickly notice that their legs become heavy and swollen. The cause can sometimes be a weakness in venous function: the blood doesn't flow back optimally, it pools in the legs – and this leads to the typical feeling of heaviness.

    In my daily work with horses and dogs, one aspect is always at the center of my approach: functional movement, body awareness, and sustainable stability. As a physiotherapist and osteopath, I do not work in a purely symptom oriented way, but focus on underlying causes. The goal is to restore physiological balance and support the body’s natural ability for self regulation. It is precisely at this point that the products of TOGU Animal come into use.

    Menopause is a phase of life that every woman experiences – and one that is often accompanied by many changes. Hot flashes, sleep disturbances, mood swings, weight gain, or an altered body awareness are among the typical companions. At the same time, it is a phase in which women can gain an enormous amount: more body awareness, more strength, more stability, and a new understanding of their own needs.
