What is an ergonomic task chair? If we had to put it simply, it’s the chair that went through a fairy-godmother transformation. An ergonomic chair by definition is one that has been specifically designed to best support the human body. It has in-built features that help your posture while working and prevent muscular injuries related to sitting all day.
Does My Workforce Need Them?
Short answer... Yes. Everyone should have an ergonomic task chair. Even if you feel like you’re doing okay and don’t necessarily need a specific kind of chair, it’s best to upgrade to one. The major reason behind this (besides the fact that they literally prevent your body from hurting), is that you may not realize the strain you’re putting on your muscles sitting in a normal chair all day. This strain reduces overall productivity and output. This is why you and your workforce should have ergonomic task chairs.
Benefits of an Ergonomic Chair
Prevention is always better than cure. Investing in an ergonomic task chair has more pros than you would think
Posture
One of the biggest problems being faced by the masses today is bad posture. When you’re engrossed in working you don’t notice where your body is going, and you end up adding billing hours to the chiropractor. With an ergonomic task chair, your body’s posture improves significantly.
Back & Neck Pain
An ergonomic chair with lumbar support is specifically designed to help with back pain, especially lower back pain. You no longer have to go home clutching your back, or realize you’ve been putting yourself through the wringer when you lie down in bed. Back pain also happens to be a leading cause of medical leaves. Invest in an ergonomic task chair with a headrest to keep your neck supported and straight. An ergonomic setup also helps with that.
Improved Blood Circulation
The 90 degree angle you sit at with an ergonomic chair (and hopefully desk too), improves your blood circulation and reduces pressure on your hip. An even and uninterrupted blood flow not only improves your physical health, it also allows for clearer thinking and more creativity.
Cons of Getting an Ergonomic Task Chair
You have to spend some money. That’s it. That’s all the downside there is of getting an ergonomic task chair. In fact, if you’re smart enough you won’t have to spend that much money. Oh and the ROI, is amazing.
