Understanding Ergonomics
AMISH OFFICE FURNITURE OFFERS ERGONOMIC BENEFITS----The following is a write-up from Today's Chiropractic, the world's most widely read chiropractic publication.
For the estimated 66 million Americans who suffer from chronic back pain, anything that reduces the agony without drugs or surgery comes as welcome news. Until now, those with desk jobs have had little choice but to end long days at the office with aching backs.
According to a study by the Spine Resource Clinic at the University of Washington in Seattle, sitting puts 40 to 80 percent more stress on the back than standing does. A new option from Ohio’s Amish country brings back a productivity tool from American colonial times.
