Back pain and a recliner...

Some figures on back pain...

The prevalence of low back pain (over an entire lifetime) in the adult population varies, according to studies, from 66% to 75%. This means that 66% to 75% of people will suffer from low back pain at least once in their lives.

- It is estimated that 90% of low back pain heals without the need for a doctor.

- According to studies, 10% to 23% of low back pain lasts for more than three months.

- One in ten people with low back pain develops physical and psychological deconditioning.

This mechanism has serious social and professional consequences: temporary or permanent inability to work, estrangement from loved ones, etc. In such cases, low back pain is long-lasting and difficult. It generally requires multidisciplinary medical care (doctor, physiotherapist, surgery, etc.) which can last for months or years.

The impact of choosing the right armchair for your back

Choosing an armchair is not a trivial decision, especially when you have back problems. A good armchair must above all be adapted to your body shape, regardless of the type of armchair; recliner, lift chair, manual or electric,...

There are indeed other criteria to consider, including:

- The height and depth of the seat, which should be studied according to your height and build. A good way to tell is to check if your feet touch the ground when you are comfortably seated in the armchair.

- Armrests are highly recommended if you suffer from back pain. They are useful when you stand up, to avoid putting pressure on your lower back. On My New Design, the SIRIUS and VEGA ranges are particularly suitable for avoiding this problem.

A relaxation armchair is ideal for relieving back pain. At My New Design, we work on the ergonomics of our armchairs to help you regain comfort and well-being.
