Isn’t the image below all too familiar? According to National Post, the average office worker sits about 10 hours a day, so sitting in the wrong office chair can be unhealthy and painful!
If you are finding your chair uncomfortable, consider this:
The chair needs to be adjusted to your body. Studies show that most of us don't even realize our office chair has adjustment options, let alone actually making some adjustments. Have a look under the seat of your chair are start exploring what all those levers do - you might be surprised to find out that your chair can actually be really comfy!
Getting the basics right when getting a new chair is essential (like matching seat height with your height). Keep in mind that comfort requires change. Learn to make minor tweaks to things such as tilt and arm height to make the sitting experience a lot more pleasant! Remember, an office chair is not one-size-fits-all – everyone requires different adjustments to suit them.
Proper sitting posture is crucial. Consider how you sit on your office chair because being comfortable will result in less fatigue and increase productivity!
A good quality ergonomic office chair can last years, but sometimes it just IS time for a new chair!
