Better Posture

July 28, 2016 officechair

If you sit poorly, it doesn’t take your muscles long to think that this position is the way it’s going to be and your muscles work alongside this bad posture, causing an imbalance in muscle support. Also, if you slouch, you are restricting digestion, circulation and breathing and your bones aren’t too happy about it either.

Knowing about good posture is very important but, whilst looking for this information, I came across a mention of how bad posture affects more than just your back.

Once the aches and pain start in places like your neck, shoulders and back, maintaining a sitting position for any length of time becomes difficult and you may have to restrict sitting to twenty minutes or so, then move around to give your muscles and your skeletal frame a change of position, before returning to your earlier task.

If you have a job that allows regular movement e.g. a shop assistant, moving and changing position is part and parcel of the requirements of the post. If you are in a sedentary job (the list is endless!), that earlier acquired bad posture and its accompanying aches and pains is going to cause havoc e.g. discomfort, irritability, distraction and concentration problems.

The truth is that we probably don’t know what good posture entails i.e. does it mean more than sitting with a straight back?

So, these points indicate a good sitting posture but that’s not the end of the story. The chair is only good for you if it’s ‘user-friendly’ in relation to the height of your table or desk, as your forearms need to reach the task in a horizontal position.

Good posture includes having your feet firmly on the floor: dangling feet and crossed legs are definitely ‘no go’ areas. Your tailbone should be right up to the back of the chair and so should your back, unless you are slanting slightly forward, in which case the line between your head, chest and pelvis should be straight (not curved).

This is where ergonomic office chairs are worth their weight in gold. They adjust not only to support your back but also to meet your height. The arm rests can be adjusted to ensure horizontal support for your hands and, together, you are sitting comfortably and working well.

There is quite a range of adjustable chairs, as each of us is different and an ergonomic chair means that the chair fits you and not the reverse! When choosing a suitable office chair, it will pay you to call on the advice of someone knowledgeable in ergonomics, to make an assessment of both your skeletal frame and the duties of your job. This will make sure that you choose the office chair that meets your needs.

Elementary, don’t you think?

Choosing an office chair is difficult, so lets start with a good all rounder. Enjoy Office Chairs are very popular as they are comfortable and excellent value for money. The best selling Enjoy Chair is from the same range of Mesh Office Chairs as the Ergohuman Office chair.
The Ergohuman is a tried and tested office chair with extra lumbar support helps to support the back thereby influencing better posture. Take a look at the Ergonomic Office Chairs for more information on the different choices

Office Chairs and Desks

When we talk about office chairs, we see the regular black chair standing on five wheels, with adjustable height and also adjustable arms and back features. This ergonomic chair will be used at a computer workstation, adjusted satisfactorily for its user, making sitting more comfortable and work more enjoyable.

However, offices are more than computer workstations.

In many companies, you will find offices, meeting rooms, reception areas and rest rooms and it is easy to see that the ergonomic office chair at the computer workstation will not do its job in the other areas stated.

The meeting room may stand empty most of the time and the number of people present at a sitting may vary. It therefore makes sense to use stackable chairs so that when they are not in use in a particular meeting, they are not viewed as ‘empty’ seats. Stackable chairs may come with tubular steel frames (e.g. the cantilever design) and the fabric used for the seating may vary, from elastic fabric which moulds with the user’s shape, to mesh, which allows the user’s back to breathe.

The reception area of a company may be the first point of entry for future customers, so getting the seating right is vital. Whilst connected chairs might be thought to be all right for an airport or a doctor’s surgery, an upholstered comfy chair will build better relationships, by making the prospective customer feel at ease.

Today’s companies now also address personal development and maybe the kneeling chair might just fit the bill, in these group activities. Although this chair does not have a back rest, its design encourages good posture and also an alert sitting position. This ergonomic chair takes some of the pressure off the thighs, which is then taken up by the shins. As with any chair, it is important to get up and move around for a little time. However, the original Balans chair, which was designed by Peter Opsvik in the seventies, was seated on rocking horse runners, to encourage the user to keep one leg extended, so as to rock the chair, a rather novel way of flexing the muscles!

So, when it comes to buying the right ergonomic chair, remember that the word ‘ergonomic’ means getting the situation right for the user. Taking advice and guidance on making the right purchase will really pay off, as a perfect match makes for a happier worker and all of the benefits that go with it.
