Physiotherapist approved bad back solutions

The problem:

Back pain is one of the most common work-related injuries and is often caused by ordinary work activities such as sitting in an office chair or heavy lifting. Research shows that to sit down in a static position for 8 hours puts your back under more strain then when in a standing position.

Applying ergonomic principles can help prevent work-related back pain and back injury and help maintain a healthy back*.

“Back pain and musculoskeletal problems are the second and third biggest causes of long term sickness absence in the UK.” Chartered Institute of Personnel and Development (CIPD).

Government statistics show over 1.1million people experience some form of back complaint caused by work, with an estimated 12.3million days lost annually because of this!

“The estimated healthcare costs of back pain total £1.6billion per annum”
The Charity Backcare.

		Whether you are buying an ergonomic chair to support your back or taking steps to improve your posture, knowing proper techniques and proper chair design will help you to improve your back’s health. Sitting in an office chair without adequate back support can create a great deal of stress on the lower back. This is largely because in the seated position, the lumbosacral discs are loaded three times more then standing, and sitting without back support usually leads to poor posture, which stresses the soft tissues*. *Spine health.
