Ergonomics in everyday life: Why is the use of Benergo back cushions important?
Why is ergonomics important?
According to the official version, ergonomics is the science dealing with workflows and their design to be economical and require the least effort for humans, but here at Benergo, we understand the word ergonomics a bit differently. For us, ergonomics is the chair, bed, table on which you can work, sleep, live in a way that does not harm your spine and does not cause a herniated disc for you in the long term.
The effects of a sedentary lifestyle on the spine
The curvature system and statics of our spine have adapted almost perfectly to standing and walking activities. If someone walks in the field or runs from a tiger, their head loads the intervertebral discs along the axis of the spine, which does not cause pathological overload. However, today, from the moment a small child sits at a school desk, our intervertebral discs are exposed to a huge overpressure.
How can Benergo help with a more ergonomic lifestyle?
This overload is the breeding ground for herniated discs. Many people with spinal diseases are disappointed with their chosen therapy and wonder why they do not achieve lasting improvement, despite doing everything for their recovery. You have surely heard horror stories that a herniated disc recurs shortly after surgery. Therefore, often - mistakenly - the doctor is blamed, but the cause of the problem is usually not the surgery's shortcomings, but that the operated patient, after the symptoms have disappeared, sits back in their chair, which, as described above, again places a huge burden on the already weakened spine. No wonder it recurs.
