【What is Back Chasing?】Forward Seat Tilting Function for Advancing Ergonomic Office Chair

Introduction

The forward tilt function, also known as the forward seat synchro tilt, is a feature of ergonomic office chairs. By correctly using the forward tilt function, you can improve your posture, reduce lower back pain, and promote leg blood circulation. Most modern office chairs have a reclining angle adjustment function. However, not many of them have a forward tilt mechanism. If you are considering purchasing an ergonomic chair for your office or home, it is recommended that you read this article first to understand the benefits of the forward tilt function and whether it is suitable for you. Carefully choose and understand its functions before making a decision.

What is the forward tilt function?

The forward tilt function, also known as the forward seat synchro tilt, is a feature of ergonomic office chairs. It refers to the synchronized tilting of the seat and backrest when the seat is tilted forward, allowing the backrest to remain in close contact with the user's back even when the body is leaning forward. By using the forward tilt function, it helps to reduce pressure on the abdomen and lower back, maintain an upright pelvic position, stretch the back muscles, keep the head upright, and reduce the load on the neck and lower back. The forward tilt function allows users to adjust the chair according to their needs, reduce back pressure, and maintain a healthy posture. Forward tilting chairs also help improve blood circulation in the feet, back, and legs.

What are the benefits of the forward tilt function?

1. Improves posture

   The forward tilt function allows the angle of the seat to be adjusted according to the user's needs, keeping the spine in the correct curve and reducing bad sitting habits. This helps alleviate lower back pain and stiffness. The forward tilt mechanism provides almost instant improvement for users struggling with lower back pain.

2. Reduces back pressure

   Lower back pain is often caused by issues around the lumbar spine. After sitting on an office chair for a long time, injuries or strains to the back muscles and ligaments can put pressure on the spinal discs and muscles. The forward tilt function can release pressure on the abdomen and lower back, reducing the burden on these areas. At the same time, it can also keep the pelvis in the correct position, reducing lumbar pressure and decreasing the occurrence of lower back pain.

3. Promotes leg blood circulation

   If an office chair is not adjusted according to your body type or habits, it may lead to poor leg blood circulation. Poor circulation can cause leg pain, numbness, and throbbing pain. Muscle tightness and stiffness are common symptoms of reduced blood circulation. Forward tilting chairs help improve blood circulation in the feet, back, and legs, reducing blood stagnation and discomfort caused by prolonged sitting. Good blood circulation helps improve vitality and focus. Through the forward tilt function, you can better distribute pressure on your legs and ensure that your feet are firmly planted on the floor while working. This increases blood circulation in the legs and provides a more comfortable working experience.

4. Reduces burden on the neck and shoulders

   Proper posture and forward tilting chairs can reduce pressure on the neck and shoulders, alleviating neck and shoulder pain and stiffness during long hours of work.
