What could be happening to my spine? Sitting in an incorrect chair causes the spine to lose its equilibrium. As a result, the spinal muscles are forced to work harder in order to maintain balance. This significantly increases static muscle work. Over time, muscle fatigue may cause muscular discomfort and potential spasms.
At the same time, the healthy curve in the lower back flattens, causing the lumbar discs to compress. Also, as only the outer rings of the disc have pain sensitive nerve endings, it is possible to be unaware of any damage until it is well underway.
If you continue to sit with little or incorrect support, the risks of long-term health issues are greatly increased.
Inadequately designed office chairs are leading to serious health implications for individuals & major costs to businesses annually in Australia.
Since 1989, Corporate Chairs has developed manufacturing true ergonomic office seating, making it possible to enjoy the positive benefits of the sitting position.
