Press Release - Actress Trudie Goodwin to be the face of The Bambach Saddle Seat
Actress Trudie Goodwin is endorsing The Bambach Saddle Seat - a product designed to relieve back pain, and eliminate the source of future posture-related problems.
Trudie, who starred as Sergeant June Ackland in the popular police drama The Bill for 23 years, and recently appeared in 5Star's new prison drama Clink, has experienced back pain in the past. She now uses the Bambach seat daily to help her avoid future back issues and retain good posture.
She said: "A few years ago I had a bulging disc in my back which took around six months to heal. Since then I've tried to take care of my back by doing strengthening exercises, and I'm keen to avoid future problems. After a busy day it's easy to flop down on a chair and not think about the effect it is having on my back. But from the moment I started using the Bambach seat I could feel that it was helping me."
Back pain is a prevalent condition in the UK, with around 2.5 million people experiencing problems on a daily basis. Many of these arise due to the simple act of sitting, with conventional seats forcing the spine out of its natural healthy 'S' shape into an unhealthly 'C' shape. This results in musculoskeletal problems such as lower back pain, and also compresses internal organs that can lead to posture-related issues with backs, necks, arms, hands and shoulders.
The Bambach Saddle Seat keeps the body's centre of gravity directly above the sitting bones, thus maintaining the spine's natural 'S' shape. And with the pelvis in its neutral position, the back is free from tension. It's also an extremely comfortable seat, that can be tilted and adjusted to help the user find their 'natural' sitting position.
"When I sit on the Bambach my spine feels like it's in a natural position, and overall my back feels supported," said Trudie. "I can feel that the seat is helping my posture and I've also noticed that my feet and legs feel stronger. It's difficult to slump while sitting on it - which is good - but it's very comfortable. I'm going to continue using my Bambach daily in an effort to keep my back in good shape, and I hope other people will try one. We only have one back, so it's important to look after it!"
