Choosing the Right Office Seating Furniture

I have a practical example of how lack of proper office seating furniture leads to surgery in old age. I am a student of Orthopaedic and Accident Surgery at the University of Nottingham and a grandchild to a 77 year old woman. My grandmother had a partial knee arthroplasty surgery. She had been a long time sufferer of arthritis. Arthroplasty was the only solution to the issue and we agreed to it despite her age. Evidently she was in pain because she never hesitated, even for a moment before being rolled into the operation theatre on a stretcher.

My grandmother had been in public service for the better part of her life. Her service saw her work at some of the most powerful places in the UK, but during those days, very few people knew about orthopaedic office seating furniture , let alone chiropractor approved chairs of the modern office. But despite the changes in the seating arrangement, not much has changed in the way humans sit or on what they sit.

Latest office seating furniture manufacturers in the UK or anywhere in the world have researchers to thank for all the information they have gathered over the years. Researchers have studied and compiled vast encyclopaedias of human posture at rest, most notably while sitting. It has been observed that these postures are in thousands of different variations, albeit small, but unique in their own. Making office seating furniture to fit all possible human posture is close to unachievable; hence manufacturers have come up with the idea of adjustable chairs. Adjustable chairs allowed users of all height, weight and posture to play at its controls and make the chairs for office comfortable according to personal need of individual users.

My grandparents never had access to such office seating furniture in those days, which is the reason why most old people in our society are undergoing knee replacement surgeries or treatment for back problems.

While granny is recuperating, my parents have ordered office seating furniture from Office Chair Shop UK, a decent manufacturer and seller based in North Finchley, London. I have their addresses and phone numbers below just in case you have had some experience with them that you may want to share with us.

Chair with Headrest : For Ultimate Comfort

Why would you require headrest in an office chair? Most employers would consider this wasteful indulgence. Truth be said, most offices do not have a working chair with headrest. Employees do not get to or are not encouraged to recline into a headrest while at work. This would have never been a problem if the human spine were not as delicate as it is. The cervical spine is designed to allow a wide range of movements but being in a constant posture strains the delicate muscles supporting it.

Short-term Remedies

A chair with headrest can keep painful neck and spinal pains at bay. Without one, be prepared to suffer from cervical injuries sooner or later. Listed below are a couple of easy remedies that can be administered at the workplace or at home without medical supervision.

      ·         Ice packs reduce inflammations. As the swelling subsides, the affected part starts to heal. Apply an ice pack alternately after every 1 hour for the initial 24 hours. Advise the person to lie in a comfortable and avoid activities that can aggravate the condition.

      ·         Heat treatments improve the healing process. Heat allows blood to flow into the injured area and start the healing process. This can be coupled with massages for additional benefits. Heat treatments can be moist or dry depending on the nature of the injury and the sufferer. Some prefer hot water baths or warm towels, other like to keep it dry.

Long-term Remedies

Employers hearken, this is for those of you who have always wondered why employees take frequent sick leaves and produce less at work. An uncomfortable work environment depreciates levels of engagement and lowers productivity.

Executive office chairs with headrest is the best protection against neck and back injuries. Working on the computer will hardly allow a worker to make contact with the headrest, but when he feels the need to rest his head, he should have a provision to facilitate it.

A chair with headrest is a better investment than paying for medical expenses. Make this tiny change at your workplace and see productivity soar to new heights.
