An office chair is obviously something most people are intimately acquainted with, they are a central fixture in most of our lives. Think about this for just a minute and you will have to agree that in many instances, time spent in an office chair staring at a monitor is not conducive to a healthy back, hips, and neck. When I developed chronic upper back and neck pain, I had to really take a close look at the way my posture had degraded.
A few years ago I discovered that the body can only take so many years of office chair abuse before it literally breaks down and becomes debilitated. Once I identified this problem, I was able to take steps to correct my posture. Sure enough, the many hours I spent hunched in a chair were indeed taking a toll.
When it comes to office furniture, the chair is not above reproach.
In fact, many physical problems could be avoided if people spent much less time sitting at a desk. For better or worse, they are something that is here to stay for a very long time. With a perpetually slouched posture, my upper back and neck had developed some real problems. |
