Does your back or seat bother you?

Hello PC warrios

How many hours a day do you sit behind a screen, in the car or in front of the television?

Do you consider how you sit?

Often not.

Until back problems arise.

Sitting is the most stressful position for your back. With prolonged sitting your pelvis tilts backwards and your lower back tends to collapse. This puts a heavy load on your back.

Good sitting is important for the body, but how do you feel good? And how does your chair help with this?

Back complaints

Sitting up straight is the best thing for us. But if the dimensions of a chair are not good, you automatically lower down. The vertebrae in your spine are overloaded in this way because your pelvis is not positioned properly. It results in back problems with, for example, a hernia as a result.

7 basic conditions for ergonomic sitting

How can a chair prevent you from having back problems?

The seven basic conditions below ensure that a chair offers optimum support exactly where your body needs it.

This makes sitting comfortably healthy.

The seven basic conditions for ergonomic sitting are:

1. Neck vertebra support
2. Spine support
3. Correct armrest height
4. Joint support
5. Right seating area
6. Ideal seat depth
7. Ideal seat height

No one is alike.

Differences in height, weight and physique determine which chair suits you best. By customizing seat height, seat depth, back and arm height, your body can relax optimally. A customized chair is a start to a life without back pain.

Tips for good sitting

But watch out!

You can still sit very wrong in a good chair. You are always in the right place with the tips below.
1. Make sure that both feet are resting on the floor.
2. Your knees make an angle of 90 degrees. Relax your legs.
3. Keep your shoulders low and support your arms on an armrest. That way your shoulders can also relax well.
4. Keep your back straight. Are you sitting for a long time? Provide support in the lower back, because no one can sit up for a long time without collapsing occasionally.
5. Pay attention to the position of your head. Keep your head upright and not too much forward.
Sitting properly is quite difficult, but with the right chair you make it a lot easier for yourself. Therefore always adjust your chair to your wishes and needs and always take your personal characteristics such as leg and arm length into account when purchasing a new sofa or chair.
