    How the Enjoy Elite takes a stand against musculoskeletal pain

    May 12, 2024

    Ergonomic seating is specially designed to prevent musculoskeletal discomfort and pain. When employers are responsible for ensuring a safe and healthy workplace for their staff, the significance of ergonomics cannot be overstated.


    Novel dynamic ergonomic chairs⁽¹⁾ are engineered to enhance both immediate and long-term comfort for workers⁽²⁾. These chairs support a range of movements and postures throughout the work day to lessen muscle fatigue, prevent stiffness, and encourage circulation.


    The Enjoy Elite G2 is a prime example of a novel dynamic ergonomic chair, offering an excellent and cost-effective solution for large corporates, SMEs, and home offices. Certified for 8-hour daily use, it's ideal for regular shift patterns, ensuring back and spinal comfort throughout the entire working day.

    Understanding musculoskeletal pain

    What is musculoskeletal pain? In simple terms, it's pain that affects bones, muscles, ligaments, tendons and nerves⁽³⁾. This acute or chronic pain is often localised to the lower back. Up to 33 per cent of people experience a form of musculoskeletal pain.


    The leading causes include sprain, strain, degenerate disc disease, spinal stenosis, scoliosis, poor posture⁽⁴⁾.


    While there are many other causes of back pain, a poor office chair can cause strain and poor posture. Sitting incorrectly or sitting in an unsupportive chair can increase stress on the back, neck, arms, legs, muscles, and spinal discs⁽⁵⁾. When a person slouches in a chair, they can stretch the spinal ligaments and strain the spinal discs. Overall, poorly built chairs and bad posture can contribute to the ongoing issue of back pain.


    Investing in an ergonomic office chair, like the Enjoy Elite, is often the first step to comfort. Over time, this can prevent damage to the spinal structure and relieve neck and back pain.

    The science behind the Enjoy Elite chair

    Comfort Seating is passionate about workplace well-being and healthy posture. With decades of research & development behind us, we understand the importance of preventing workplace injuries and musculoskeletal pain. The Enjoy Elite office chair is just one in our vast collection of ergonomic seating solutions that can transform your workplace and increase employee well-being. Ergonomically designed to offer 8-hour comfort, the key features include:



    Lumbar Support


    The Enjoy office chair is equipped with an advanced lumbar support system that can be adjusted automatically. You can adjust the back height to align the lumbar support with your lower back's curvature, providing continuous spinal support as you work. You can also customise the tension of the lumbar support to match your weight and strength.



    Adjustable armrests


    The multi-axis armrests move in multiple directions. You can adjust the height, width, depth, angle, and tilt, allowing you to find the most comfortable arm position depending on the task. This versatility reduces strain on the shoulders and neck, whether you're reading, writing, relaxing, gaming, or typing.



    Seat depth adjustment


    The Enjoy office chair features an adjustable seat depth. This ensures support for the thighs and reduces pressure on the lower back. Adjusting the seat depth to the length of your thighs also better distributes your body weight across the chair for longer-lasting comfort.



    Tilt mechanism


    When you activate the free-float mode and the tilt mechanism on the Enjoy Elite G2, the seat synchronises with the back of the chair. This allows you to maintain proper spine support as you recline. As a novel dynamic ergonomic chair, this feature is crucial for preventing stiffness.



    Material and construction


    The exceptional build quality and clever combination of materials ensure the Enjoy office chair is a durable seating solution. Featuring flexible T-mesh and sturdy metals, each component is meticulously chosen to deliver peak performance. Unlike lower-cost products, Comfort exclusively uses premium materials to craft a lightweight yet high-performance task chair, backed by a 10-year warranty for added assurance.

    Benefits of choosing the Enjoy Elite chair

    Almost 25 per cent of office workers believe that experiencing physical pain is just part of the office job culture⁽⁶⁾. Pain can affect a person's daily life, leading to a myriad of issues, including an impacted social life, poor mental health, and, of course, unproductivity at work.


    Investing in a truly ergonomic office chair can enhance the workplace environment. A comfortable office chair can alleviate back pain and strain, providing employees with full-body support and allowing them to focus on important tasks. Consequently, this leads to a more productive staff, who can concentrate more on their work and less on discomfort.


    The Enjoy Elite also improves employee well-being, minimising the risk of long-term back problems. In the United Kingdom, workers who experience back pain take 12 sick days annually⁽⁷⁾. Thirty-three per cent of UK workers have taken at least one day off work because of back or neck pain. While ergonomic chairs may not be the cure for those with other back disorders, the Enjoy office chair is designed to support healthy seating for those who don't have pre-existing conditions.


    The Enjoy Elite G2 offers a cost-effective solution for businesses looking to invest in preventative measures against absenteeism and healthcare costs. Choosing our product can help you save money in the long run. If you need more information on pricing and our bespoke services, please don't hesitate to contact us. Our team would be delighted to assist you.

    Tips for proper ergonomic setup

    To ensure a comfortable experience, it is essential to adjust the Enjoy Elite office chair to meet individual preferences. The chair offers more than a dozen adjustable features that must be adapted to provide proper support to the current user. An instruction manual is included with the chair to help set up the seat. Additionally, you can watch our how-to guide through the link provided below.

    It's also crucial to maintain good posture while seated. The lumbar support system makes it easy to remain upright in the Enjoy Elite G2, but you should avoid slouching to maintain back health.

    

    The Enjoy offers various recline positions to switch things up if you are feeling stiff. You should also incorporate regular breaks into your routine. Every 30 minutes, get up, walk around, and stretch your legs, arms and back to prevent stiffness. Combining a dynamic seating solution with breaks can revolutionise workplace comfort.

    THE IMPORTANCE OF THE ENJOY ELITE FOR BACK PAIN

    The Enjoy Elite is a ground-breaking chair for back pain. This comfortable office chair offers a range of adjustable features to prevent back pain while at work. When spending long periods of time in a chair, it's important to prioritise ergonomic solutions for the long-term health and productivity of your staff. With a height-adjustable back, innovative lumbar support system, and 5D armrests, the Enjoy Elite is a fully adjustable mesh office chair that reduces the risk of back pain at work.
