ONGOFree - Sit while standing

Regularly changing your sitting position, which an ergonomic work stool provides, helps to keep your back healthy. This is important because the most common cause of sick leave is back problems or physical limitations due to poor posture. With a work chair that promotes healthy sitting, you can make an important contribution to your back health.

At least as important as an ergonomic chair, however, is the correct adjustment of the desk. Many workers are lucky enough to have a height-adjustable desk that allows them to work standing up as well as sitting down. If you don't just want to switch between standing and sitting to reduce back strain, a height-adjustable work stool is the way to go. Regularly changing the height of your seat by adjusting the height relieves pressure on your spine. A height-adjustable work stool allows for a variety of sitting positions that are always based on the current height of the workstation and individual needs.

We spend most of our working day sitting in front of a computer. Often in an awkward and unhealthy position, resulting in back pain and disc problems. A height-adjustable work stool can counteract these problems by promoting dynamic sitting in a position that relieves the back and can be optimally adjusted to the user's height. In addition to being a classic office stool, it can also be used as a standing aid.

In order to achieve a healthy sitting height, it is essential that a work stool be continuously height adjustable. This is the only way to maintain a healthy posture. Seating height is often set too low during the workday. Your knees and hips should be at an angle of more than 90 degrees, and your feet should be in full contact with the floor. Your arms should also be at an open angle in the basic position. An upright posture completes the optimal sitting position.

A swivel stool provides movement of the pelvis, which encourages and allows any change in the position of the back. An ergonomic pendulum stool with a movable foot ring also allows the pelvis to move forward and backward. The three-dimensional movement not only strengthens the back, but also encourages the natural urge to move.

For a healthy working day, experts recommend spending 60 percent of the time sitting dynamically, 30 percent standing and 10 percent moving. A height-adjustable work stool is the ideal way to achieve the ideal individual sitting height and a healthy working day. Particularly when the height adjustable stool is used as a standing aid, it should be safe and stable on any type of flooring; castors are not suitable. In addition, the seat must be designed to provide sufficient comfort in both sitting and standing positions.

Rigid, immobile sitting is bad for your back, while dynamic, flexible sitting is good for your back. This is achieved by regularly changing your sitting posture, which is somewhat "forced" by an ergonomic work stool. Dynamic sitting also provides movement during the office day and prevents symptoms of fatigue. Three-dimensional movement relieves pressure on the spine and ideally challenges the muscles.

An ergonomic work stool encourages regular changes in sitting position and is not only easy on the back, but also on the muscular metabolism, which stimulates circulation and promotes concentration. The lack of a backrest and the triangular seat promote an upright and healthy posture.

Before buying an ergonomic work stool, it is important to choose the right model. There are significant differences between models, not only in design but also in quality. Since not every stool is used in an office, but also in a doctor's office, beauty salon or workshop, the upper material of the seat can make a decisive difference. When in doubt, leather is the answer, as it is hard wearing and easy to clean. Infinitely variable height adjustment allows you to work comfortably in any position, and a sliding seat provides tremendous flexibility in all directions.

An ergonomic work stool encourages movement, but the user must first learn how to use it correctly and become familiar with all of its features and capabilities. A gradual transition from your old office chair to your new stool is recommended. This can prevent muscle soreness and other discomfort during the transition, as a dynamic work stool is initially unfamiliar to the user and the new, healthy sitting position must be learned. It is also advisable not to overdo it with active movement in the first few days of use, but to encourage and stretch the back muscles more and more each day. After all, you move twice as much on an ergonomic stool as you do on a traditional office chair. A period of familiarization is essential.

Back pain can have a significant impact on a person's well-being. A height adjustable desk is often the first solution. It can provide regular relief for your spine and get your circulation going again. But without a height adjustable desk stool, a height adjustable desk is only half as useful. An ergonomic stool that can also be used as a standing aid is ideal for this purpose. In principle, a dynamic work stool is suitable for all activities at the desk or in the home office. A height adjustable stool is also ideal for use in a child's room, as it provides an outlet for children's urge to move and does not slow them down.
