1 TREAT YOUR SPINE TO A CORRIGO CHAIR AND CHANGE THE WAY YOU SIT FOR GOOD / info@corrigo-design.com /

2 CREATE RELIEF FROM PAIN AND PRESSURE POINTS, CHANGE YOUR POSTURE AND FEEL MORE PRODUCTIVE WITH A CORRIGO CHAIR. Do you work long hours at the computer? Have you been experiencing back pain? Have you been told to watch your posture but not sure how to do this? CURRENT POSTURE Have you been trying to resolve your back pain for a long period of time, but not succeeding? Do you feel your current chair isn t providing your back with the support it needs? WE HAVE THE SOLUTION We all spend a lot of time each and every day sitting down at work and generally we slouch. Research shows that adopting an upright seated posture not only keeps your back healthy, it also help to increase self-esteem, a positive mood and alertness levels. Where other chair designs may seek to comply with minimum ergonomic standards, we look to exceed your expectations and provide you with exceptional levels of postural support so you can perform at your best.

3 WHETHER YOU SUFFER FROM BACK PAIN NOW OR WANT TO PREVENT IT OCCURRING IN THE FUTURE, WE HAVE A SOLUTION TAILORED FOR YOU. TREAT YOUR SPINE We know that when you feel good, you work well and enjoy a life free of pain. From those little niggles right through to a diagnosed medical back and posture related condition, back-pain, if not corrected, can have a very real effect on every part of your life. Our know-how and expertise in workplace ergonomics means that we know what it takes to help improve your posture and to get you back to feeling well and enjoying life again. When it comes to back-pain, millimetres count, so we dedicate ourselves to providing bespoke and tailored solutions with your specific workplace needs in mind and offer extraordinary levels of adjustability. RECOMMENDED BY PHYSIOTHERAPISTS AND OSTEOPATHS. Back-pain is a universal problem affecting all ages and lifestyles so our chairs are designed to suit all individual requirements, to prevent as well as reduce symptoms. Corrigo Design are experts in creating high-performance, ergonomically designed back-care solutions and importantly we re dedicated to your long-term health, happiness and wellbeing that s the Corrigo Design way!

4 A CORRIGO CHAIR PROVIDES THE PERFECT FIT FOR YOUR BODY, PROMOTES AN UPRIGHT POSITION AND ALLEVIATES TENSION. TENSION RELIEF AREA: UPPER BACK Upright, healthy posture supported by slim shape of backrest. Allows freedom of movement. Supports between the shoulder blades, opening the chest, rather than pushing the shoulders forward into a slouch. Pressure relief for every posture, from a forward perch to a backward recline, due to the adjustable backrest angle. Common pain pressure points caused by sitting incorrectly or using the wrong chair TENSION RELIEF AREA: LEGS Long term pressure relief with our extra cushioned seats. Support for the whole of your thighs, without restricting blood supply, the seat length is adjustable to your own requirements. A correct length seat will allow you to sit right back in the seat and benefit from the support of the backrest, removing tension and pressure build up. TENSION RELIEF AREA: LOWER BACK The small of your back is cradled in exactly the right place with our inflatable, height adjustable lumbar support that is integrated into the backrest. Base of spine is supported to further keep the back in a healthy S shape. TENSION RELIEF AREA: HIPS Relieve pressure from your hips with our independently adjustable seat and backrest. Fine tune the backrest angle to match your exact postural needs.

5 A CORRIGO CHAIR WILL CHANGE THE WAY YOU SIT FOR GOOD - IT S NEVER TOO EARLY OR LATE TO START LOOKING AFTER YOUR BACK. FEEL THE DIFFERENCE Corrigo s unique backrest shape is designed to provide maximum back support, posture control as well as freedom of movement. We offer bespoke options, with a variety of finishes and fabrics. Because we are all different shapes and sizes, we offer 3 sizes and a broad range of adjustments to provide the perfect fit for your own body. FEEL THE QUALITY Each chair is made to order and traditionally upholstered, our high quality design ensures longevity.

10 TOP ERGONOMIC WORKSTATION TIPS FOR HEALTHIER POSTURE, BACK VITALITY AND GENERAL WELLBEING. DRINK PLENTY OF WATER. Have a water bottle nearby so you can monitor how much you drink during the day. On average, you should drink around 1.2 litres of fluid every day. TAKE REGULAR BREAKS. Even a few minutes every hour is beneficial, just stand up and walk around a little, stand when taking the next telephone call or do some workstation stretching exercises. This will help the blood to circulate around the body and bring more oxygen to the muscles and your brain. TRY AND REDUCE YOUR STRESS LEVELS. We are more susceptible to back pain when we are stressed, as our muscles tense up. See the Stress Management Society for information on how to reduce your stress levels: WATCH YOUR POSTURE. Just being aware of your posture, remembering to stand or sit straight and tall, will reduce stress on your spine. Always adopt a balanced posture and try not to lean over on one side. CONTACT US for further resources and information. We are here to help. KEYBOARD & MOUSE AT FRONT OF DESK BENEFIT: Reduces pressure on the back, arms and hands. SET UP: Keyboard and mouse close to the front of the desk, reducing reach forward. Hands and wrists in a neutral 90º position. TOP OF SCREEN AT EYE HEIGHT BENEFIT: Reduces pressure on the neck. SET UP: Place computer/laptop screen at eye level and arm distance away, so head is in a neutral position, with chin slightly tucked in. Use a separate keyboard and mouse if a laptop screen. THIGHS ARE SUPPORTED WITH A GAP BEHIND KNEE BENEFIT: Reducing pressure on the thighs and under the knee. SET UP: Adjust seat length to fit the length of your thighs, keep a two to three finger gap behind your knees. SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTED TO KEEP FEET FLAT ON FLOOR/FOOTREST BENEFIT: Reducing pressure on the legs. SET UP: Knees to be slightly below your hips and feet flat on the floor. You may need to use a footrest or desk raiser to keep arms level with the desk as well.

11 HOW TO CORRECTLY SET UP YOUR WORKSTATION & CHAIR TO REDUCE TENSION & RISK OF INJURY. HEAD BALANCED BENEFIT: Reduces pressure on the neck and shoulders. SET UP: Support the head in a natural position, with the chin gently tucked in, but not pushed forward. SIT BACK IN THE CHAIR BENEFIT: Supporting the body during different postural requirements according to the task at hand. SET UP: Adjust according to the task - upright for computer work, relaxed back for phone or reading work. Or keep on a free float to automatically adjust to you. ARMS SUPPORTED BY YOUR SIDE & PARALLEL TO THE DESK BENEFIT: Prevents frozen shoulder, RSI and tension in the shoulders, neck and upper back. SET UP: It is essential to keep your arms parallel with the desk, with hands and wrists relaxed when typing, so position the armrests to support you in this position. Ensure your shoulders are relaxed on the armrests. Adjust the depth if possible to allow you to bring the chair in close to the desk. LOWER BACK IS SUPPORTED BENEFIT: Supports the lower curve of the back, keeping it in a healthy S shape and reducing pressure on the back. SET UP: Check that it is the correct height and, if possible, depth for your lower back curve.
