A good work chair or sit-stand stool is essential

More and more people do sedentary or alternating seated and standing work. Especially in offices and industry, many workers are tied to their chairs for much of the day. At first glance, this kind of work seems little taxing on our bodies. So we don't readily see it as a cause of sick leave either. Yet unfortunately, this is often the case.

A small deviation from the correct sitting posture can eventually lead to irritation, fatigue and reduced concentration. After some time, the first health complaints appear, such as pain in the neck, back, shoulders and upper legs. As a possible result, long-term sick leave and all the associated costs. Incidentally, such complaints do not only occur in sedentary work. They can also occur when people stand in the same position for long periods of time or make the same movements frequently.

To prevent health complaints and reduce absenteeism, a good work chair or standing aid, tailored to the user and the work, is essential. It will also increase job satisfaction and thus productivity. A good work chair or standing aid is an investment that quickly pays off.

What about my old chair?

It is remarkable how many people still work whole days on old depreciated chairs. That is, of course, because the relationship between health complaints and work chair shortcomings is not always easy to see. Yet that relationship does exist. The correct sitting posture and the correct adjustment of your chair are also very important.
