One of the many causes of a backache, neck strain and repetitive motion injury like Carpal Tunnel Syndrome, which affects hands and wrists, is sitting improperly for long periods of time. This is further aggravated by no lower back support and abnormal amounts of pressure on the wrists. Motion strain injuries are not only painful, they never really heal completely. The medical costs can be thousands of dollars in treatments, operations, and lost time. In this day and age of computers, people are required to sit for long hours.
Computers are the salvation for most companies and are making our lives easier.
However, our bodies pay the price. Having the correct chair can really make the difference. A proper chair will allow you to enjoy your time at the computer and accomplish more. The chair should meet industry standards not only for quality, but also for the proposed OSHA guidelines on Ergonomics. The chair should move with your body.
