Ergonomic Chairs

Ergonomic Chairs

An ergonomic chair can help reduce pain and injuries by supporting you to maintain a healthy posture when you sit.  Abbotts Office Furniture is Melbourne’s most experienced office furniture store. We stock a full range of ergonomic chairs for people of all sizes, in a huge range of styles.

What is an ergonomic chair?

Prolonged sitting in a chair puts excess strain on the lumbar area of your spine. In fact, sitting puts more pressure on the back than standing. If your posture is not right, it can lead to slumping, a rounding of the shoulders, and extension of the lower back, which causes back pain and hip issues. The result is stiffness, loss of muscle strength, pain and disc degeneration over time.

Ergonomic chairs are designed to reduce back and posture issues. For example, chairs feature a larger seat and back than standard chairs, as well as body-hugging sculptured foam to provide the ultimate lumbar support. Ergonomic chairs are also designed to be adjustable to suit different bodies. They keep the body in a natural, relaxed position, reducing strain on the back, arms, shoulders and legs.

Ergonomic chairs have numerous advantages.

• They are designed to promote proper body alignment and posture, reducing the chances of developing discomfort in the back and neck.
• They are adjustable and personalised to the user’s specific requirements.
• They assist in reducing musculoskeletal injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and other repetitive strain injuries.
• They support the lumbar spine, reducing stress on the discs and reducing a full range of musculoskeletal issues through the hips, spine and neck.
