Most of us are moving around much less than we used to and working from home has reduced our movements even further. Many of us haven’t been travelling to our workplaces like we used to. We are simply travelling the journey from our bedrooms, to the kitchen for hot drinks and snacks, and back to our chosen work space again, where we remain until we retire to the sofa in the evening. Of course there will be those who have strict exercise regimes, and those who choose to exercise indoors, even a simple walk around the block will help, but the reality is, things have changed.
You may now be suffering from lower back pain, or aching muscles from sitting in bad positions due to working from home, but there are many ways we can assist. Yes, correct ergonomic seating will help, but the human skeleton is not designed for prolonged sitting, and it has been proven that if you change your position throughout the day, it generally leads to a much healthier situation.
Sit-Stand, or height adjustable desks are a great way of doing this, either at home in your current home office, or in your main workplace when you return. We have various different options available, some are driven by electric motors others by crank handles. We may even be able to use your existing desktop and just supply a new frame.
What about if you could keep moving, and exercise whilst sitting and working? Fitness seating is a great way of doing this. We have this type of seating in the office ourselves and use them daily. An Exercise Ball Stool can improve your posture and balance, and also strengthen your core muscles. You could even sit on it when reading a book, or watching TV!
