Ergonomics

Thousands of years of evolution, man came running to the office chair and did his body great injustice; he put it out of motion right into the captivity of devices surrounding it. After 8 hours of sleeping you transition, everyday, to an 8 hour sitting phase. As time goes by, the following problems arise as a result of a long-term sitting:

  • Chronic pain in the back, neck and shoulders
  • Reduced circulation and concentration
  • Poor posture and obesity
  • Cardiovascular problems

A healthy work environment

Long-term sitting increases the risk of obesity, cardiovascular diseases, increases the blood sugar level and slows down circulation. Having that in mind, it is highly recommended that after a certain period of time one gets up, stretches or goes for a walk if possible. One of the ways to avoid these negative consequences, besides having an active life, is to do a part of your work standing up. If your business activities are related to your desk job, a partial solution is to use desks with adjustable heights to change the posture of the body.
