The right chair prevents back problems
The Healthy Back Campaign (AGR) is an interface between medicine and industry. It shows the industry how to produce back-friendly furniture.
Many people spend a large part of their day sitting, even though humans are not designed to do so. Whether in the office, driving a car or at home in front of the TV, we spend most of our time sitting. This often leads to back pain, especially if the seating is not ergonomic.
An ergonomic office chair is particularly important in the office to prevent back problems and enable healthy sitting . After all, we spend a large part of our time in the office sitting down. An uncomfortable chair can not only cause back pain and tension, in the worst case scenario it can even lead to a slipped disc.
The Healthy Back Campaign (AGR)
However, it is not always clear at first glance whether an office chair is suitable for your back. It is only when it is too late, when problems have already arisen, that you realise that it is unsuitable.
That is why the Healthy Back Campaign has developed a seal that identifies products that medical experts consider to be back-friendly. The Healthy Back Campaign aims to provide information about healthy sitting and avoiding the causes of pain. AGR also offers therapy options and recommends targeted back exercises to prevent back pain and herniated discs.
By designing a workplace ergonomically and adjusting it to the individual employee according to the latest scientific findings, these health problems can be avoided. AGR works with cooperation partners, including back school associations and medical professional associations, and passes on its findings to industrial companies so that they can produce ergonomic and back-friendly products.
