Back Problems From Office Chairs

Sitting in an office chair for long stints of time can place uneven pressure on the spine and increase the risk of back problems. Most of these back ailments can be prevented by choosing the right office chair and learning how to sit in it properly.

1. Chair Selection

   • Choose an ergonomic office chair that supports the natural curve of the spine. The chair should have a contour cushion that forces the lower back to arch when you sit.適切なオフィスチェアには、首、背中、肩への緊張を緩和するために90度の角度で腕を休めることができるアームレストも必要です。

   姿勢

   • Keep you shoulders back and adjust your office chair so that your workstation is elbow-height and your computer screen is eye level. Avoid leaning forward or letting your spine curve into a "C" position. Sit with your bum touching the back of the chair and your thighs parallel to the floor. Also, keep your feet flat on the floor to relieve pressure on your lower back.

   考慮事項

   • 適切な姿勢と人間工学に基づいたオフィスの椅子は、背中の痛みのリスクを減らすことができますが、長い間1つの位置に座っているのは背中にとって悪いことです。 So get up from your office chair every 30 minutes to walk around and stretch.
