With this in mind, Office Reality have scoured the marketplace to bring a huge selection of office chairs to workers around the UK, each chosen for features such as pronounced lumbar support, adjustable for body weight, reclining tilt mechanisms and sturdy back rests.
Paul Seddon, Managing Director said: “Britain’s office workers spend more time at their desks than any other European nation. We frequently work longer hours and take fewer breaks, making comfortable, functional office furniture that provides proper support to the neck and back a vitally important addition to any office environment.”
“Our research shows that good seating can reduce muscle stress and injury by encouraging movement and flexibility.”
Osteopaths agree that bodies thrive on motion and variety. Sitting too long in one position can lead to poor posture and more seriously, neck, back and muscle pain. Daren Fletcher, founder of London-based Osteopathy clinic Posture Dynamics applauds the advances made in office chair technology at Office Reality, highlighting the dangers of fixed positioning and poor posture resulting from badly designed office chars. “People are surprised when I explain to them that prolonged sitting is bad not only for your muscles, joints and discs, but has an effect on your breathing which affects your circulation and cardiovascular system which then has an
effect on your digestion. When you consider these harmful effects on your
body and health, the advise that is recommended regarding good posture,
movement and exercise suddenly becomes easier for people to take seriously.”
Scottish radiologists also confirmed in a study last year that a 130-degree angle of recline between torso and thighs reduces pressure on the discs in the lower back. That makes office chairs such as the Office Reality Azeo range a winner in the style and health stakes.
The Azeo office chair is ergonomically designed to provide intense, adjustable lumbar support which flexes in synch with the users body movements. Fashioned from stylish, leather or fabric, the Azeo chair features a generously proportioned seat and extensive lumbar support which adjusts and flexes with your body. It can be adjusted to provide a varied level of support according to user body weight. Ergonomic to its core, the Azeo range of chairs to soothe and prevent back pain also incorporates side tension control, seat slide and height adjustable arms.
Tackling back pain at its root, Office Reality’s range of office chairs also includes seating solutions for the boardroom and reception. Browse the product catalogue online now at www.officereality.co.uk.
