Choose a chair that sits right with you

-

WORKING in any environmen­t, office or home normally involves spending a great deal of time sitting on a chair – a position that contribute stress to the vertebral column from the shoulder to the neck and lower back. To avoid developing back problems, it's important to have a healthy chair that supports your neck, back posture and promotes good health.

You spend hours at time on your computer or reading or watching TV and more, so hopefully, you're sitting on a comfortabl­e and healthy chair if not, then perhaps its time to upgrade.

So which is the best healthy chair? There are many types of chairs and seating available in the market. What kind of features should a good healthy chair possess?

Does your chair allow strain-free sitting and encourage motion to promote blood circulatio­n? Does your seat allow a threedimen­sional tilt movement? Does your chair provide all the adjustment­s required because of the anatomical variations between people, especially lumbar support, headrest, neck rest-height, seat depth, body weight and more?

Aiming to design chairs that improve one’s well-being, Wagner of Germany’s offers chairs with ergonomic and orthopaedi­c features to protect your back. They are comfortabl­e and durable and suitable for the workplace and at home,

Optimal results were achieved with Wagner’s patented Dondola system, a three-dimensiona­l fully mobile seat that provides movement to keep your blood circulatio­n in motion.

Only movement can provide your back with really healthy effects. 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 system. The results which involved testing on patients with acute back pain, showed that they experience a significan­t decrease of back pain; around 66% without using medication as well as improvemen­t of general wellbeing up to over 39%.

These chairs are available completely upholstere­d in top grain leather or fabric and mesh. They are also equipped with one of the most advanced Dondola technology and auto synchronou­s mechanism that automatica­lly senses and adjusts its function to suit your body weight for optimal balance and ultimate freedom in movement.

This mechanism was tested “very good” with the test result published in the September 2008 edition of the leading profession­al journal Facts.

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