Ergonomic Chairs — Expert Answer
What ergonomic chair is recommended for someone returning to work with a lower back injury?
When returning from a lower back injury, prioritize a chair with independent lumbar support depth adjustment (not just height), because getting the lumbar in exactly the right spot matters clinically. A seat with a positive forward tilt option reduces lumbar flexion under load. Avoid chairs with rigid non-adjustable backrests — your back needs to move slightly to prevent stiffness during recovery. Work with your physical therapist to get specific measurements (lumbar curve height, seated hip angle) before selecting a model.
