Who Cares about Ergonomics?

A poorly designed office space might not sound like a huge problem until you start listing all the potential symptoms that comes with prolonged sitting and incorrect posture: neck pain, shoulder pain, eyestrain, poor circulation, leg numbness, and more. These all deplete your energy and focus, manifesting as poor performance. So even if you don’t notice it, your supervisor will.

But there is hope. Companies that offer ergonomic workstations report a 40% improvement in organizational productivity. Ergonomic office furniture has been proven to make your workdays more manageable and fruitful.

Your Ergonomic Workspace Awaits

It can be difficult to combat the negative long-term effects of sitting without the proper equipment. Here are a few products suggested by our consultants to banish lethargy and keep employees healthy.

• A standing desk alleviates stress on the back and legs and improves circulation, freeing your body and your brain to focus on the task at hand. Many people who use standing desks even report improved core strength. Just standing for a couple more hours a day can greatly improve your health.

• When you need to have a seat, our Sit to Stand Desks adjust quickly and quietly to a seated desk at the push of a button. Sitting is far less detrimental to the spine when you have an ergonomic office chair to support your lumbar region, arms, and legs properly. Relax The Back chairs are build to conform to your body, not vice-versa, ensuring you’re in the best position to do your job efficiently.

• Just because you’re seated doesn’t mean your legs are off the hook. A raised footrest can counteract the negative effects of sitting, reduce lower back, and increase blood flow. Rocking footrests promote healthy circulation and increased energy by adding additional movement to your day.

• Monitor arms and laptop raisers make sure your monitor, laptop, or tablet is at the proper height and distance, relieving stress to your eyes and neck.

• A wide variety of keyboard trays not only provide proper ergonomic support for your arms and hands but also allow for easy, clean storage of your keyboard and mouse.

Even if you upgrade to an ergonomic office environment, if you stay inactive all day you could still be developing serious health problems. Activity is key. Make time in your busy day to walk around, rest your eyes, and stay hydrated. These simple steps, in combination with an ergonomic workstation from Relax The Back Southlake, will keep you refreshed and energized throughout the day.
