Think about your office chair, is it comfortable? Do you go home at the end of the day with aches and pains? Are those pains in a specific place every time?
If so, it’s likely that your office chair is actually damaging you in more ways than you realise.
We found an interesting infographic by Marshfield Clinic, which outlines the ways in which your office chair causes aches and pains.

Whether you have a mesh office chair or a huge leather ergonomic choice, it’s important to know how to sit, but it’s also important to realise that long-term use of an unstable chair can lead to chronic pain conditions. As you’ll see from the infographic, the most common areas for pain are your neck and shoulders, back, ankles and feet, legs, and your hands, wrists, and forearms. This all comes down to the position in which you sit, and how your chair allows you to sit.
