Office Chairs in Barcelona

Many people work long hours during which they end up sitting in front of computers for the majority of their day, and while this has become the typical work environment, these sedentary habits can prove to be very strenuous and unhealthy for your back. Very few people take the necessary actions, including doing exercises and using the right kind of chair, to ensure that they are not damaging their back with long hours of sitting. It is important to be aware of and address the various health problems that come with sitting for a majority of the day, especially in low-quality office chairs that cause your body to tense up during the day rather than relax. Today in this article from ShBarcelona, we’ll be discussing where to find office chairs in the Ciudad Condal.

Workplace ergonomics and the importance of a good office chair

Ergonomics, the discipline of designing work spaces that better your health, integrates both furniture and items for daily work performance, which should be designed to avoid causing any injury. For people who work while sitting for hours at a time, especially in front of a computer, there are basic guidelines you can follow to avoid health problems, specifically those related to the musculoskeletal system. It’s important for your head to be aligned with your torso so that you don’t have to lean too far forward or too far back to sit comfortably. This keeps your whole spine aligned as you work. This requires your computer screen to be at eye level so as not to strain your neck, and annoying reflections on the screen that make it difficult to see should also be avoided. Last but not least, it’s important to use a comfortable and supportive chair that has a soft seat, good lumbar support that adapts correctly to your spine and a headrest that allows you to relax your neck.
