WHAT HAPPENS TO YOUR SPINE WHEN SITTING?

chairs with back support

Inadequately designed office chairs are leading to serious health implications for individuals and major costs to businesses annually in Australia. Sitting in a poorly designed office chair causes the spine to loose its equilibrium, making correct posture impossible. As a result, 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, which causes 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 damage until it is well underway. If you continue to sit on an office chair with little or incorrect support, the risks of long-term health issues are greatly increased.
