The health costs of static-posture chairs
You’ve experienced the effects of sitting at your desk all day: fatigue, aching back, stiff neck and muscles, low energy, poor concentration. It’s no wonder. Conventional, static-posture chairs force your legs, back, and torso into an unnatural, 90° position, and keep many of us there for eight or more hours each day. Think of it—four months of every year spent sitting in an unnatural, uncomfortable position! Yet even advanced ergonomic chairs limit your range of motion.

Now there is the Stance® angle chair and TaskMate™ from HealthPostures.

The Stance® and TaskMate™ are a real health advantage because it allows you to move and supports your body in many different ways. This allows you to:

• Evenly distribute your body weight which takes stress off your muscles
• Improve your circulation and oxygen flow
• Relieve the pressure that is put on your back and spine from conventional sitting

HealthPostures designed the Stance® and TaskMate™ to help you move comfortably throughout your workday. We have developed an integrated workstation system that provides support for nearly every body shape and size through proper distribution of body weight. It lets you move freely and interface comfortably with your computer.

The Stance® angle chair is the only office chair endorsed by the International Academy of Chiropractic Occupational Health Consultants, and it has been covered by Workers’ Compensation claims.

The Stance® angle chair uses simple angle and height controls, along with lumbar support and a leg cushion to provide optimal body support through an infinite range of motion.

One of the most beneficial positions is halfway between sitting and standing, the neutral position. This is the position your body naturally assumes when floating upright in water. Because the Stance® angle chair allows movement and upper body balance—while maintaining vital lumbar back support—it helps reduce stress on the back caused by static posture, unsupported positions, and musculoskeletal pressure. So you feel great and have more energy throughout your workday.
