The importance of good sitting posture in car seats
When people face back and shoulder complaints we always look at the work a person does and whether the workplace is ergonomically designed. We then check whether you are sitting on a good chair with the right height, obviously at a desk that is also perfectly adjusted. Strangely enough, when it comes to back problems, much less is said about posture in the car, even though many people spend a long time in the car every day. Incorrect posture in the car can have the same consequences as a wrong posture at your desk in the office. An incorrect posture in the car can cause considerable complaints to the spine in the back and also to the shoulders.
Sitting instruction
A good chair should fit. If you have seating problems, go through the instructions below. You can also contact us for a fitting at one of our dealers. For larger groups, we can also visit you on location. Feel free to contact up!
Radiation to the legs
More and more people are experiencing back, shoulder and neck complaints, complaints that in turn are often accompanied by headaches. Incorrect sitting posture is not infrequently the cause of problems. And because more and more people in the Netherlands have a sedentary job, it is not surprising that the number of complaints is increasing. Sometimes they are minor complaints, but sometimes the complaints are more severe with, for example, radiation to the legs. The main cause of these complaints is a taking on a prolonged incorrect sitting posture, something that can be done just fine, by the way.
Wrong attitude
Just consider how you yourself sit when you sit at your computer, how you sit in the car or how you lie on the couch with your tablet. You teach yourself a certain posture. Without noticing it, you put a lot of strain on your body, with the complaints that come with incorrect posture as a logical consequence. Being more aware of your posture can help many people get rid of minor complaints, although it is not easy to unlearn something that has been learnt just like that. If you are used to always sitting slightly forward, you will notice that sitting upright is something very strange at first. In itself, a incorrect posture is not yet a problem. A wrong posture does become problematic if that posture is held for a long time - that is, without active interruption.
Movement restriction
Muscles get overloaded and shortened when you sit in the wrong posture for long periods of time. If you have shoulder muscles that are strained, this in turn affects the cervical vertebrae that have to deal with pulling. You often don't pay attention to it until you can no longer (or barely) turn your head at all. But even then, people try to camouflage the complaint and simply try to restrict movement. And so, as a result of an accumulation of factors, a severe movement restriction arise. Complaints that are the result of incorrect sitting posture never arise suddenly, but build up unnoticed until you are seriously troubled and it can become a serious problem that cannot be solved overnight.
Ergonomic car seats from BCS Europe
Apart from the fact that moving in between and varying the sitting position is something that can prevent complaints, a good car seat that too. In the car, your back gets the brunt of the forces and vibrations that occur while driving. In this respect, it is good to take a look at the ergonomic car seats of BCS Europe to watch. BCS Europe offers car seats that improve your posture and are suitable for people already dealing with back pain, but we also have, for example ergonomic office chairs or racing fairings in our product range.
