How to choose the right chair, and what the terminology actually means.

Choosing an ergonomic chair for your office.

Movement and adjustment is the key

Your body is not a stationary vehicle - it is designed to move. So much so that your body has a built-in warning system that encourages you to move and change position. Pain and discomfort are early warnings from your body to change your current postural habits to ones that reduce the pain and discomfort. Ignore the warnings and the consequences can be severe and long lasting.

The good news is that you can change your habits and re-educate your body. The ergonomic chairs we have selected will help and encourage you to achieve this posture more naturally, making it easy to sustain supported correct posture and active movement.
