You've been sitting at your desk for hours,
sending emails, writing reports, reviewing notes for tomorrow’s meeting, and
doing everything that floats across your desk. You
realize that your neck and back are sore and your wrists feel stiff. This is
very common, especially for those working in an office setting. You take it as
part of your job; you stretch it out and continue to plug away at those emails.
Unfortunately, this is how many people perceive these symptoms, as part of
their job. Wrong, there are a number of things an individual or business can do
to help improve their workstation. Ergonomics is the
study of your work, your work environment, and work tools being used.
Symptoms of a poor work environment or tools are eye strain, back pain,
neck pain, stiff wrists, and more. If you ever have any of these
symptoms it is time to start doing something about it. Here is an excellent
illustration of tips that you can do to incorporate ergonomics into your
everyday life.
It is also important
to remember that there is different ergonomically friendly office equipment
such as mouse pads, keypads, monitors, chairs, and desks. At Spectrum
Industries we offer a wide variety of desks, tables, and chairs that can make your
workstation more enjoyable.
Here we have the Freedom One eLift Desk and the Evolution Stand-up
Desk. With the eLift desk the user has the option to do their work sitting down,
but if you are getting stiff or experience back pain you can take your desk
from sitting to standing with the push of a button! Our eLift's raise up to 42
inches high making this desk the right height for everyone. It is
important to remember however that when using a standing
desk the kick rests are very important because it alleviates pressure
from the knees. The Evolution Stand-up Desk is perfect for people that have
recurring back problems and it is also equipped with a bull nose edge making it
more comfortable on the wrists to avoid carpal tunnel.

Now let's look at our Executive Mesh Back Chair. This chair
has easy back height- adjustments, locking seat and back tilt, sliding seat, a
tension knob, and five star legs making weight more evenly distributed. These
features make it easy for the user to adjust the chair any way that works best
for them.
