Wedge-shaped seat cushion for a healthy posture!

Alvital® medical seat cushion The seat surface of ALVITAL medical seat cushions slopes forward at a specific angle. During biomechanical tests, it was established that this slope optimally supports active sitting and exposes the spine to relatively the smallest load. In this position, an ideal balance can develop between the functioning of the back and abdominal muscles, which can ensure active sitting with the least amount of muscle work. This makes it possible to maintain a spine-friendly posture while sitting, which can also contribute to the prevention of poor posture and the development of later complaints.

Direct and indirect benefits: Back-protecting sitting posture Reduction of fatigue. An effective tool for computer and office work Sitting posture is very stressful for the spine. The compressive force on the vertebrae and discs is significantly greater than in a standing position, and this is a risk factor for the development of spinal complaints. That is why we must strive to make our posture as favorable as possible when sitting: sit with a "straight back". However, when sitting, we tend to bend the spine forward, to sit with a "round back", which further increases the load on the vertebrae and the discs between them.

Most office chairs and seating furniture in use do not meet the ergonomic requirements that would promote correct sitting posture. This is precisely why those who perform long-term sedentary work are in an unfavorable and vulnerable situation. This category mainly includes those who spend long hours in front of a computer! What can we do to promote correct sitting posture and the health of our spine? For active sitting, we use the ALVITAL special seat cushion with preventive and curative effects!
