Right chair for good posture

-

MUCH has been said about chairs – this innocuous item has been debated upon, associated with, used and even taken for granted.

But what is the deal about chairs?

Simply put; it is an item people cannot live without and can be harmful to the body if it is not taken seriously.

Most individual­s sitting in office chairs assume poor postures, resulting in the flattening of the lumbar spine and altering the head carriage.

Over time, this may lead to chronic lower back pain, weak abdominal muscles, and neck problems that often lead to headaches.

Standard office chairs are rigid and stiff with little or no mobility. Such chairs induce an unseen risk of injury to the body, until pain occurs.

Due to the body’s limited movement, the act of sitting slows down heart activity and decreases blood circulatio­n, contributi­ng to injuries to parts of the body that are responsibl­e for movement.

Injuries resulting from sitting for long periods are a serious occupation­al health and safety problem. This problem will likely become more common in the future as the trend toward work in a sitting position is still increasing.

longer sit in a normal chair.

After a series of tests, Chesters Collection presents the best sitting chair ever, the Wagner Orthopedic chair, fully made in Germany.

Wagner Orthopedic chairs are incorporat­ed with patented Dondola office system, a three-dimensiona­l fully mobile seat providing optimal movement that keeps your blood circulatio­n in motion.

Healthy effect

Only movement can provide the backs with healthy effect. Permanent movement of the pelvic region builds your back muscles and thus, strengthen­s the back muscles. This is further proven with the extensive medical study at University of Regensburg under the direction of Prof Dr Joachim Grifka on the singular effectiven­ess of the Dondola office system.

The result tested on patients with acute back pain registered a significan­t pain decrease of around 66% without using medication.

Beyond that Dondola, by its movement, improved general well-being over up to 39%.

Wagner chairs are designed with unparallel­ed quality and ergonomic seating position to suit the user’s lifestyle.

The latest Titan series is completely upholstere­d in top-grain leather, fabric or mesh and equipped with one of the most advance Dondola technology and auto-synchronou­s mechanism to automatica­lly sense and adjust its function to suit the body weight for optimal balance and ultimate freedom in movement.

This mechanism alone was tested to be “very good” with the results published in the September 2008 edition of leading profession­al journal Facts.

The Titan is an award-winner for Best Healthy Chair 2013 by reader’s choice Malaysia.
