BOSTON AND NEWTON, MA...
According to Posturedontics.com, 'Two out of three dental team members experience chronic pain.' Practitioners in dentistry who work all day long in a sitting position require a chair with superb back/lumbar support to help minimize lower back problems and reduce the potential for musculoskeletal disorders.
Scandex Swedish ergonomic chairs and stools are designed for proper seating so the lumbar is supported and the spine maintains the proper 'S' position. The most popular seating for dental practitioners are the Bruno Ergonomic Office Chair, Series 300 and the Björn Ergonomic Saddle Stool, Series 400/600. Both automatically seat a dentist or hygienist in a correct posture and positions him/her nearer to the patient which reduces overall strain on the back, shoulders and neck muscles.
'Good posture relieves tension in the back, shoulders, neck, in the whole body - which in turn aids breathing, digestion and circulation,' explained Sven Emilsson, Director of Sales at Scandex.
He continued, 'The demand for our Swedish ergonomic seating has increased significantly within the dental industry, so much so that we have developed a new division to cater to their specific needs.'
