STATISTICS/FACTS ABOUT COMPUTER CHAIRS

Office workers with musculoskeletal injuries caused by an inappropriate work station account for around 5-15% of all musculoskeletal injuries, which is a lot of suffering people. About 80% of office workers over a 5 year period will call a Chiropractor, Physiotherapist, Osteopath or Massage Therapist to treat an injury sustained from sitting in an office chair. Evidence suggests that most office workers do not use an appropriate computer desk chair, nor do they understand how to set it up properly.

REASONS FOR REPLACING YOUR CURRENT COMPUTER DESK CHAIR
  • The computer chair does not appear to support you properly.
  • The chair is uncomfortable.
  • You're experiencing headache, neck or low back pain.
  • You notice postural changes: e.g. Shoulders rounding and mid back hunching.
  • The desk chair is either too small or large for you.
  • A large increase in hours per week sitting and the chair is not advanced enough.
  • The chair is broken or too old.
  • The chair is not adjustable enough.
