An ergonomic environment is meant to be created around an individual to facilitate a healthy work space.  Ergonomic work spaces focus on five specific areas to reduce repetitive stress injuries in the legs, back, arms, and wrists/hands; these five areas are: Safety, Comfort, Ease of Use, Productivity, and Aesthetics.  The combination of these features in an ergonomic chair can help provide you with a stress free work area while your students are taking tests, doing projects, or playing during recess. 

 

Ergonomic chairs are the most important step in creating an ergonomic environment.  Manufacturers of these chairs have conducted extensive research on skeletal stress and proper posture to provide the user with the maximum amount of comfort and convenience.  Ergonomic chairs are the easiest way to provide customizable ergonomics to most individuals without recreating an entire work environment.

 

  The advantages of ergonomic chairs over a typical office chair are countless.  Sitting at your desk for extended periods of time can cause back pain, as well as lead to stress in the neck, arms and wrists, and legs.  The proper posture created by sitting in an ergonomic chair will help reduce fatigue and muscle stress, increase blood flow, and increase your overall productivity in the classroom!  

 

Don’t let the time you spend sitting at your computer control your energy level and comfort for the rest of the day; pick up a new chair at iShopErgonomics!  There are a variety of ergonomic chairs available to accommodate any body size and an array of colors to match every classroom.  You will see and feel the benefits immediately, and as a user of an ergonomic chair myself, I can say those benefits far outweigh the cost of purchasing a new desk chair.  Consider purchasing a backrest for your current chair to reduce sitting stress if buying a whole new chair isn’t feasible!
