Aalborg – Bad Posture can be Painful
http://www.aalborgdk.com/Many of us sit for long hours each day. We expect to have increasing discomfort in old age but considerable hours sitting at work, often on seats set too low on account of low desk heights provides the basis for both back and neck strain. Too much TV combined with a lack of regular exercise only exacerbates.
Provision in UK schools of some of the very worst desks and chairs, many not suited to the size of the pupils and of shapes and heights encouraging a slouched posture, gives great concern for the large increase in back pain, from ages as low as 6-7 years. This is becoming especially distressing for many teenage girls. Pain in school followed by much uncomfortable lecture room seating at university, sets the later scene where back pain is the largest reason for absenteeism in the workplace, costing both employers and the country huge expense.
A painful working day does little to encourage productivity. The reason UK productivity is some of the very worst. So BAD POSTURE can be COSTLY.
Scandinavians work less hours but more effectively. Students are provided with chairs and desks both better designed and height adjustable. Office workers use sit/stand desks, adjustable for both comfortable sitting at a range of heights and also for standing, especially useful to save the time wasting constant having to get up and down, and for an easier relationship with colleagues.
For specialists such as architects, designers, teachers and managers the Aalborg furniture range includes some of the very best sit/stand desks at affordable prices
