At work, many office employees are<br />sitting more than eight hours per day. During this time,<br />it's important that ergonomic chairs be used, as they<br />will help reduce shoulder, back, and neck strain. Even<br />though they may cost more than the standard office chair,<br />they are a wise investment simply because they increase<br />productivity and can help prevent serious injury.<br /><br />When you select the proper ergonomic offer chair, there<br />are several factors you should consider. You'll want<br />chairs with an adjustable seat, the proper lumbar support,<br />backrest, adequate seat depth and width, arm rests, and<br />the ability to swivel. You should also read the<br />instruction manual as well and ensure that all of the<br />adjustment mechanisms function properly. If you find a<br />chair to be defective in any way, it should be returned<br />immediately.<br /><br />Keep in mind when selecting your chairs that there is<br />really no "one size fits all" for every body type. What<br />is best for one individual may not be the best choice for<br />another. Before buying a chair you should give it a<br />try and see what you think. If it isn't possible to test<br />out the chair, you should make sure that you can get a<br />refund if something goes wrong.<br /><br />Before you purchase or use an ergonomic chair it's best<br />to fully understand proper posture and ergonomics while<br />at work or at home. One of the basics to ergonomics is<br />making sure that a chair's seat height will allow the<br />user's feet to stay firmly planted on the floor. It's<br />also good if the chair provides a lumbar support, which<br />will fit the inward curve of the lower back area. <br /><br />With the traditional ergonomic office chair, there are<br />a lot of new and emerging alternatives. Depending on<br />the chair, you may find yourself in new positions. Even<br />though they may take a bit of getting used to, these<br />chairs are great for someone who experiences a bit of<br />discomfort or chronic back pain.<br /><br />Those who sit at their desks for extended periods of time<br />would greatly benefit from ergonomic chairs. While<br />sitting at a desk, you put your back and upper torso in<br />a cramped position, making yourself a target for back<br />pain later on in life. With ergonmic chairs, your back<br />gets the support it needs. This way you can sit at your<br />desk all day long and know that your back and the rest<br />of your body is very comfortable.buitenzorghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04988311537029905358noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8483127481585565089.post-8064073475644108912010-01-02T23:25:00.000-08:002010-01-02T23:26:02.256-08:00Ball ChairIf you are tired of the average office chair and<br />find yourself experiencing chronic back pain, an<br />exercise ball chair may be the chair you've been<br />looking for. The standard office chair can be<br />very cramped and hard on the back; which is where<br />ball chairs can really help you out.<br /><br />Ball chairs are the new and alternative solutions<br />to traditional office chairs. A ball chair is<br />exciting, different, and also provides your back<br />with plenty of support while you sit, almost making<br />you free from any of your back problems. Using an<br />exercise ball as a ball chair is an excellent way<br />to maintain the correct posture when sitting. <br /><br />When choosing the right ball chair for your needs,<br />here are some tips to help you:<br /> - The size of the chair should keep your<br />feet on the floor while you sit, with your arms<br />resting comfortably on the desk. When you sit on<br />the ball chair, you should keep your legs forming<br />a 90 degree angle at the knees. Any more or any<br />less will mean that the ball chair isn't right for<br />you.<br /> - Your weight is a very important factor<br />when choosing a ball chair. If your weight compresses<br />the chair and flattens it, you need to get a bigger<br />ball chair. If you happen to be very light in<br />weight, you can under-inflate the ball chair.<br /><br />Ball chairs will keep your back and abdominal muscles<br />active because of the slight bouncing it provides. <br />Therefore, you can maintain proper posture, which<br />helps to prevent back problems. Even though a ball<br />chair can be a great alternative to a standard office<br />chair, you should consult a doctor before you purchase<br />one. If you've had any back problems or surgeries, you<br />want to get a doctor's advice before you make that<br />final purchase.buitenzorghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04988311537029905358noreply@blogger.com0
