Sit Better, Feel Better

Indeed.  

If you sit at your desk for long periods, you likely experience back or neck pain, which is caused commonly by poor posture. This puts stress on your back, neck, shoulders, arms and legs, and large amounts of pressure on your back muscles and spinal discs. Repetitive actions, like typing, put your body in an awkward position and can increase pain as can mental stress.

Fortunately, you can improve your posture, particularly if you who sit in an office chair for several hours a week. Using an ergonomic office chair, like CoreChair, will encourage good posture. CoreChair was inspired by the growing popularity of using exercise balls as office chairs to avoid the shortcomings of ergonomic office chairs.

A chair that promotes active sitting, is comfortable, and activates your core, CoreChair incorporates the perceived benefits of an exercise ball with features that encourage good posture, add variable resistance, and are aesthetically pleasing. In fact, CoreChair:

-     Challenges your core muscles

-     Mobilizes your pelvic and spinal joints to combat stiffness from static sitting

-     Stimulates the vertebral joints to lubricate the discs

-     Reduces back strain associated with reaching

-     Stimulates circulation in your lower extremities

-     Optimizes the position of your spine with a sculpted seat and enhanced pelvic support
