High performance 24 hour back care seating
Over 6 million people in the UK suffer intermittent or chronic back pain.
Alarmingly 4.9 million work days are lost in the UK alone through back pain and associated conditions. The Health & Safety executive say this “costs UK business £624 million per year”. In high impact, continuously seated environments, such as traffic control, emergency room, call centre and busy offices, taking breaks can be difficult and these people are at increased risk of exacerbating their condition.
In response to these overwhelming statistics Summit has developed a range of chairs to be back friendly. We aim to play our part in promoting a ‘pain free workplace’. Posturemax ranges are the perfect seating for high impact seating environments. And in the coming months we hope to introduce a number of resources to help you to introduce and recommend this product to potential users. We have launched a brand new Posturemax website on www.posturemax.co.uk
Anatomy of a chair Posturemax is a proven concept in high performance, back care seating that utilises a unique combination of features designed to provide total body support to all users, despite the infinite variations of human shape and form. It is ideally suited to 24 hour and multi user applications. It provides maximum levels of comfort and helps to avoid posture and back problems so often associated with poorly designed seating. The Posturemax 200 models have been further developed and tested for use by persons up to 200kg in weight.
Please visit our home page to review the distinctive features that make up the anatomy of these highly specified chairs. Backed by Summit, your customers can feel confident that Posturemax will give long and trouble free service. This is all supported by a 5 year structural guarantee for 24 hour use.
The physiology of sitting The key to healthy sitting is to maintain a natural “S” shaped spinal curve. This will minimise uneven compression of the spinal discs and muscular strain whilst improving respiration and circulation. On the new Posturemax website – www.posturemax.co.uk and in our Posturemax range brochure we describe how Posturemax chairs help to achieve this. If you would like a copy please contact Roy on roy@summitchairs.co.uk or call 01225 864703.
If this is an area if interest, please visit the site regularly as we hope to be able to provide and update a number of sources of information on back pain statistics, staff sickness trends, quotes, stories and offerings from Summit. Our first Posturemax offer (with every confirmed Posturemax order) is a free copy of ‘The Back Care’ book by Dr McKenzie, entitled ‘Treat Your Own Back’. This book is available to all of your customers at the special price of £9.84.
