Ergonomic Chair

Ergonomic chair A chair designed to support the body in seated work by allowing for individual adjustment and promoting postural health. Unlike standard chairs, an ergonomic chair accommodates a range of body types and tasks through adjustable features that reduce strain and support dynamic sitting.

Key features typically include:

• Adjustable seat height and depth
• Forward seat pan tilt
• Height- and angle-adjustable backrest
• Lumbar support (fixed or adjustable)
• Armrests that adjust in height, width, and angle
• Stable base (often with five castors) for mobility and balance

In Alexander Technique teaching, an ergonomic chair is not a solution in itself, but a tool that—when combined with conscious direction and elastic uprightness—can support dynamic stillness and reduce static loading during seated work.
