As an experienced and leading Bristol Osteopath, I wanted to share some top tips on the best way to sit.

And that includes sharing news and updates on The Z Chair, designed and developed by myself.

The Z Chair is my simple yet stylish answer to healthy sitting, that reduces the impact of poor posture and back pain.

Having released The Z Chair fully onto the market, more and more people are hearing about it and realising that there is a better, healthier way to sit.

With awareness and sales in The Z Chair gathering momentum, I thought it a good time to recap why I believe The Z Chair is a great asset to the home and office.

With my Bristol Osteopath head-on, I treat patients daily at my Henleaze clinic with sore and injured backs caused by poor sitting posture.

Sitting badly is damaging our backs, creating unnecessary pain, disablement and misery. I treat these conditions day in and day out.

How well are you sitting?

Not many of us can claim good posture when sitting because chairs are (in the main) poorly designed to suit the complex biomechanics of the human body.

The majority of chairs don’t encourage good spinal posture.

Many do the opposite.

As a Bristol Osteopath, I believe that the chair industry often does a huge disservice to our health and well-being.

Chairs should promote healthy spinal posture. They also need to promote active sitting where the core muscles are activated (and not de-conditioned).

On these key points, most chair designs fail, tending us into a slouched position, and giving us a back support to hold us upright instead of activating the now 'switched off’ postural/core muscles.

Why choose The Z Chair?

Here are some of the reasons to choose it:

With its gently forward-sloping seat, it promotes better spinal posture allowing the spine to maintain natural healthy curves.

The Z Chair promotes active sitting, encouraging the core muscles to stay active and well-conditioned.

A cool design and is practically sized to fit well either at home or in an office.

Health-promoting ergonomic chairs usually come with a hefty price tag. Whilst the Z chair at £230 is not insignificant, it is much more competitive than most ergonomic chair options.

Proudly manufactured in the UK and with a super-low carbon footprint.

So, if your back aches when you’re sitting, you’re uncomfortable, or you just want to be proactive about your posture, back health and general well-being then consider The Z Chair this Autumn.
