The Right Furniture to Prevent Back Pain

Medical experts are now predicting that there is a 50 percent chance of having back pain at least once in a year. This chilling statistical figure has caused quite some alarm in society. The cause may be blamed on lack of exercise and excess weight; however, these experts are also suggesting that wrong chairs and stance may actually worsen the condition. Back pain has the potential to be chronic based on a person’s environment and lifestyle. The good thing is that environment changes – such as finding an ergonomically-made chair- can be made immediately.

 Employees often spend eight to nine hours sitting down. More progressive companies allow their employees to stand up while working on their computer (their desktops being placed on a higher table). However, most companies still require their workers to sit down for the better part of the day. Thus, it is extremely important that companies choose a chair that prevent back pain. Typically, these pieces are naturally curved in the backrest or are made of materials that cushion the lower area. Furniture manufacturers have developed designs to suit all types of body shapes and sizes, so it is also encouraged that individuals try out each chair before choosing a furniture piece. The "standard" back-friendly chair may actually be incorrect for another type of person. Regardless of the design, an ergonomically-made chair will always make a person feel that their back is protected and cushioned regardless of position.
