Back pain is a leading cause of lost work hours throughout the world. According to a study in The Lancet, over 540 million adults around the world struggle with back pain. This translates into about 1 in 10 people having some level of back pain in their life.
While there are many issues that can cause back pain, for Singapore executives, computer and IT professionals, gamers, and others who work at computers or desks throughout the day, their chairs may be the biggest problem. Traditional types of office chairs are not designed to support the spine fully. Instead, they support only the hips and the upper back, resulting in pressure and stress on the lower spine and the neck.
Finding the Best Chair for Your Back
Many stores in Singapore sell office chairs or gamers’ chairs. However, these are not always the best chair for your back. In fact, poorly designed chairs can be even worse than standard office chairs, increasing the pressure on the spine by providing support in the wrong locations.
The best chair for your back in Singapore must be designed for a person of your height and body size. This allows the lumbar support and neck support pillows to be correctly positioned for your spine. There is no one-size-fits-all chair, which is where many manufacturers fall short in the selection they offer.
Look for a chair that is ergonomically designed, offers adjustments to the arms and the chair’s position, and provides both a head pillow and lumbar support pillow that is ideally positioned for your body.
