Sitting For A Long Time Hurts Your Waist？You Need An Excellent Chair--An Ergonomic Chair!

        Most people need to sit when they work, and more and more people find that they spend more time sitting than lying down every day.It is an indisputable fact that sitting for a long time hurts the waist. Therefore, on the one hand, we should try not to sit for a long time as much as possible, and on the other hand, we should learn to maintain a correct sitting posture when we have to sit for a long time to minimize the damage to the spine.

        What if sitting for a long time can also keep bones healthy as much as possible? The simplest way is to choose an "excellent" office chair.

        When people sit, the weight of the upper body is concentrated on the waist, causing the pressure on the lumbar intervertebral disc to be at least 150% of that in the standing position. The backrest can effectively bear part of the body load.

         A good backrest should have both "external beauty" and "internal beauty". The former means that the backrest should have a forward arc, showing an elegant curve beauty, which fits the human lumbar spine, which also has a beautiful arc. The latter means that the hardness of the backrest should be moderate, because the pressure in the lumbar intervertebral disc changes with  the sitting angle. When the sitting angle is between 95° and 105° and there is local support, the pressure in the intervertebral disc is the smallest, and it is naturally the most comfortable.

         The armrest has similar functions to the backrest, and can also effectively share part of the load. The armrest should have a suitable height, and it is best to allow the upper limbs to rest on it in a relaxed manner, without pulling the soft tissues such as the neck and shoulders or the muscles and fascia of the chest and back, waist and back due to being too high or too low. When we sit and work, we often don't need armrests, and we can choose armrests that can be stored.

          When we sit and work, we may need to turn around at any time to get information or communicate with people, and the wheels come into play at this time. In the absence of wheels, people can easily generate shear stress on the lumbar spine due to turning. With wheels, this action is much safer.

         Finally, when sitting and working, the adaptation of the table, chair, and computer screen is very important.

         The center of the computer screen should be basically level with the line of sight; the chair should be able to be stuffed under the table, so that the front of the body is one fist away from the edge of the table when the human body is in a sitting position.

         Only by adjusting the environment and "restricting" us to a good position can people involuntarily maintain a good posture when sitting. In order to adjust the good sitting office environment, computer stands, wireless mice, keyboards, lumbar pillows, etc. can be included in your shopping list. Therefore, having an excellent ergonomic chair will give you an extra guarantee for spinal health. Whether it is a recliner chair or an office chair, choosing an ergonomic structure is much better than an ordinary chair.
