Sitting in a chair all day puts you at risk of developing musculoskeletal difficulties that can result in damage to the joints in the neck and back. This not only causes physical discomfort but can also decrease productivity. These issues can be resolved with ergonomic furniture, including pre owned office chairs.
Ergonomic Office Chairs
Ergonomic chairs are carefully engineered to keep the body in a safe and upright position, reducing stress on the spine, neck and hips. They are designed with headrests to support the neck and shoulders and a backrest to support the natural curves of the spine.
These chairs are adjustable to support good posture. Proper sitting posture includes having your feet on the floor and your knees at a 90-degree angle, parallel to your hips. This adjustability is fundamental to proper, safe seating.
Ergonomic Office Desks
Studies have shown that having the option of standing up at your desk rather than sitting down all day may increase energy as well as your ability to focus.
Sit-stand desks are available in many sizes, shapes and mechanisms that reduce the risk of aches, injuries and cardiovascular disease. Look for a motorized desk that can be easily raised and lowered throughout the day to further reduce possible injuries to your back and joints.
Ergonomic office furniture works best when it is custom-fitted to the user. It is not just that it is better engineered to suit the human body; the particular body that will be using it is important as well. Both chairs and sit-stand desks can be individually made or adjusted to fit each user.
An ergonomic-sensitive workspace allows its occupants to live more productive, happier and healthier lives than the standard office set-up. You owe it to yourself to make the relatively inexpensive transformation to ergonomic office furniture.
