ABOUT US

Mary Gale designed the award winning seat, combining her years of experience as an occupational therapist, horse rider and riding teacher to solve the problem of how to achieve correct posture while sitting at a task. Together with three colleagues, Mary researched studies on posture worldwide. The findings supported her theory that a person's spine is held in its natural curve with less stress when seated in a saddle. This prompted her to design a seat, based on the design of a saddle, for everyday use in the work place as well as for use with disabled people.

The benefits of the Saddle Seat have been validated around the world, even hailed (by some professionals at the University of Vermont) as the most revolutionary change in seating seen in a century.

In 1998 The Bambach Saddle Seat won two major awards in the U.S.A., the first being The Adex award for Ergonomic Task Seating, and the second a Silver Award at NeoCon for Design Excellence for Desk/Workstation Task Chairs.

Copies of Mary Gale's research papers, presented at conferences in Beijing, Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand and London, and her book The Seated Spine & The Bambach Saddle Seat, are available on request. A research paper from the University of Toulouse, first published in France, and other published papers are also available. Recent case studies will be issued to Health Professionals on request.
