VISIONARY OFFICE CONCEPTS recommends two office chair solutions: ‘Freedom’ by Humanscale and ‘Aeron’ by Herman Miller.

Why is the right chair so critical?
When you sit this way for an extended period of time, you tend to slouch and your spine loses its natural alignment. The results of slouching? Fidgeting, fatigue and general discomfort, quite often followed by lower back pain, tight shoulder and neck muscles, and headaches.

Unfortunately, office seating today - including chairs with a lumbar feature - doesn’t provide the lower back, below-the-beltline support necessary to encourage a good posture and maintain spinal alignment.

Freedom and Aeron chairs do!!!

Why is good posture so important, and what are the drawbacks of poor posture?

Good posture balances your body weight on your skeletal structure, as nature intended. This reduces the workload on your muscles, enhances blood circulation throughout the body and relieves pressure on the diaphragm, which improves your breathing and helps prevent fatigue.

When you slouch, your spine goes out of alignment and your muscles are required to work overtime to make up for the lack of skeletal support - that is, they have to hold up the extra weight that is not supported by your skeleton. In addition to wear and tear on the muscles, this also stresses your body’s other soft tissues, specifically the ligaments and tendons.

Additionally, poor posture places more pressure on your lower back, notably the discs that make up your spinal column. This condition results in the backaches, headaches, and other uncomfortable symptoms that many seated workers experience, and can lead to more serious and chronic lower back problems.
