Importance of Having the Right Modern Office Furniture…
Here are a few important statistics to keep in mind the next time you start to feel a pinching in your wrists at the computer.
-
About 80 to 90% of work in an office is done in the seated position.
-
Carpal Tunnel Syndrome accounts for the most days lost at work when compared to all other work-related injuries.
-
75% of home offices don’t have the proper modern office furniture.
What does this mean? Well, you are ruining your efficiency by refusing to purchase good modern office furniture for the home. Carpal Tunnel is a condition that gets worse over time if not properly taken care of and it can get so bad that you…
A) are in constant pain and can’t work at all.
B) need expensive and risky surgery to get it corrected.
Not a good option either way. However there is a third option. Simply purchasing ergonomically correct furniture and office chairs and practicing good ergonomics when working.
Remember to get up and move around every half hour. Keep the wrists lifted when working at the keyboard and hold your elbow against your sides. Sit up straight and don’t lean forward! This along with the right office furniture should keep you working long into your golden years.
