How to Avoid Knee, Leg and Back PainWhile Sitting at Your Desk

% of readers think this story is Fact. Add your two cents.


Although working from home can be wonderful, most homes were not built with a home office included in the design. This means that many people who work from home are working in small cramped spaces, using furniture they already have rather than ergonomically friendly chairs.

A hallway, a kitchen counter, half of a guest room and the living room coffee table are all common workplaces for the home-based business owner. Getting comfortable in such a space can be a challenge.

This can lead to all sorts of body aches and pains, especially for desk-bound entrepreneurs during the start-up phase of a business where they work long hours and often 7 days a week.

A business owner is understandably focused on income and profits. Comfortable seating is not usually one of the top concerns. However, the aches and pains that result can seriously impact the work that gets done.

While it’s true that there are some struggles associated with working in a small space, it is possible for you to be comfortable while you work. There are a number of things that you can do to increase your comfort level, but one thing you can’t overlook is the benefit of a good office chair.

According to many studies, the average person sits in their chair for over eight hours a day when they are working in an office. This can lead to a number of different issues, including:

Thrombosis – this can lead to blood clots

Bad posture 
Knee pain 
Back pain 
Choosing the right chair is an excellent way to avoid many of the problems associated with sitting all day. It’s also important to get up and walk around about once an hour to eliminate the risk for some of the more serious side effects that sitting all day can cause.

When you buy a chair for your office, you need to consider what your primary use is going to be beyond sitting. Many times just looking at the options you have will clarify what your specific needs are. Checking out the offerings on www.sitbetter.com may help provide some clarity. For example, your needs will be different if you’re going to be working at the computer all day than they will be if you are sitting during conference calls or one on one interviews.

Another thing to consider is whether you have any current health issues. If you already experience back pain, for example, then you may be better served with an ergonomic office chair. You can buy chairs that are designed for people with mild, medium or extreme back pain. If you have bad posture then a chair that promotes good posture is in order.

To prevent knee and leg aches and pain you can combine your chair with an ergonomic footstool. This combination can leave you feeling comfortable even when you don’t have the opportunity to sit down as much as you would like.

There are a number of other ways to stay comfortable in a small office. The right lighting, personal touches from home and a well-designed layout can help keep you comfortable. Add all of that with a great office chair and you can be more productive because you’re not thinking about how uncomfortable you are.
