If the chair in your office is not of good quality and moreover it will not be correctly adjusted, in the long run the wrong posture may cause a series of problems that will affect the cervical and lumbar sacral area. Safety in everyday office work is a factor that is all too often underestimated. The focus on correct sitting posture means first of all preserving one's health and the correct lumbar and cervical position. As we spend many hours of the week in the office sitting at our desks, it is easy to understand how important it is to maintain a correct posture.

Many people, in the course of their work, will tend to stand spasmodically still in front of their computer monitor, and then go into a particularly rigid posture without realising it. By constantly maintaining a rigid and incorrect posture, in the long run there will be obvious functional problems with our back, which will not be long in coming. For this reason, the first fundamental piece of advice will be addressed to the categorical appellative of "movement". With movement we certainly do not intend to leave our desk to do some movement; in fact, the movement can also be done while sitting in front of our laptop monitor. Surely you are wondering, how to make movement while sitting in front of the desk? The answer is simpler than you think: sitting in a high-profile, high-quality ergonomic office chair. In this regard, our catalogue offers a wide range of high quality products, able to induce movement and to favour a dynamic and adequate sitting, in order to safeguard one's health with the help of a correct posture: in the following paragraph we will examine in particular, which are the factors we should consider in order to make the adjustment of an ergonomic chair, according to our physical characteristics.

We have seen how to sit in the right way in the office context, you will not be able to disregard the purchase of an ergonomic chair of indisputable quality level; when we will have perfected the purchase of the appropriate product, we will be able to proceed with its adjustment, according to our needs and physical characteristics: they will be for example our height and the length of our lower limbs. With regard to the correct adjustment of the office chair, let's start by saying that only when the chair has been correctly adjusted, at that point we will be able to proceed with the adjustment of the worktop accordingly.  The best solution to optimize a correct sitting will be compatible with the lightening of the load on the person: this will happen thanks to the help of the arrangement of a right angle; in particular, the height of the chair will be adjusted when the arms of the seated person go to configure a perfect angle of 90 degrees, with the desk top. Proceeding in this way, in fact, the arms can be comfortably placed on the armrests, and then work on the worktop in a comfortable way. The seat will also be correct, if the upper and lower part of the legs will also form a right angle. In order to adjust the depth of the seat, it will be advisable to follow a simple practical trick: you will have to set a distance of about one palm, between the back of your knee and the front edge that will characterize the surface of the seat. Your back should always be in contact with the backrest; your feet should always rest firmly on the ground. If possible, our advice is to prepare and adjust the height of the backrest so that your shoulders will always receive important support: in this regard it will be important to make sure that the lumbosacral support is located in the correct point (at the right height).  In particular, the lumbosacral support must be placed at the right height and depth: in this way it will be possible to reproduce the physiological S-shape that characterises our spinal column and at the same time avoid excessively important pressure being exerted on it. Some office chair models offer the possibility to adjust the weight and in this case set exactly what will be the counter pressure of the backrest; in particular it will be possible to act on the mechanics of the chair, depending on the importance of your body weight. Thanks to the personalised adjustment, your body will be optimally supported, guaranteeing maximum freedom of movement for the person. The movements made by the worker on the chair will be made without effort and in a completely natural and composed way. Ergonomic office chairs will avoid the so called static sitting: if in particular the chair you have purchased will be equipped with adjustable armrests, in this case it will be appropriate to adjust them so that they can better support the arms, when they will rest on the work surface in a horizontal way.
