Understanding the Importance of Movement
The number of hours spent sitting each day is a significant health risk. While sitting isn’t quite as detrimental as smoking, it can lead to various health issues. The real concern is the lack of movement. In physical therapy, we often say, ‘your next posture is your best posture.’ This means changing positions frequently is key to maintaining a healthy spine.
Introducing the Newtral Standing Mate
The Newtral Standing Mate is designed to support your spine in a neutral position, allowing for various postures: sitting, standing, and leaning. It’s an excellent complement to any adjustable height workstation.\
Using the Standing Mate in Sitting Position
To start, you can use the Standing Mate like a traditional chair. Flip down the backrest and sit comfortably. If you need a moment to relax during a meeting, simply pull the backrest out to recline. To regain support, lock the backrest back in place.
Adjusting the Height
The chair’s height can be adjusted easily. Pull up on the lever while unlocking the mechanism, and the chair will lower or raise as needed. This feature allows you to customize the chair to your ideal ergonomic height.
Changing Positions for Better Health
One of the standout features of the Newtral Standing Mate is the ability to change your position. You can sit sideways or even turn around and sit backward. This flexibility encourages movement and reduces the risks associated with static postures.
Leaning and Standing Support
When transitioning to a standing position, the Standing Mate offers support. Flip the backrest backwards to unlock it, allowing you to lean against it while standing. This is vital for avoiding strain on your back while you work.
Creating a Glute Rest
If you prefer a relaxed standing position, you can adjust the chair to create a glute rest. This minimizes hip flexion while allowing you to stand comfortably. Lock the backrest for added support, or leave it unlocked for a more casual stance.
Mobility and Freedom
The Newtral Standing Mate is designed with mobility in mind. The footplate prevents tipping when standing but can be flipped up to allow free movement around your workspace. This ensures you won’t be hindered while navigating your office.
Optimal Posture Throughout the Day
By using the Newtral Standing Mate, you can promote optimal posture throughout your day. The chair supports a variety of positions, making it easier to avoid prolonged periods of sitting or standing. Frequent changes in posture can help keep your spine healthy and alleviate discomfort.
