Find out more about how Aalborg furniture makes a real difference
Since my first involvement as part of the ‘Education Committee’ for BackCare, the charity promoting healthier backs and good posture, and our consequential financial support, a slow understanding has emerged of how bad posture, a lack of exercise and the carrying of too heavy back packs is causing real pain and consequential damage, some life long, to children as early as primary school age, much of it caused by bad school furniture.
Evidence shows a growing problem with children complaining of discomfort and the sort of pain stultifying concentration and learning. Teenagers and especially teenage girls are having not only their school life ruined but are increasingly in real pain.
Recent BackCare demonstrations reported in both the press and on TV serve to demonstrate areas of distress. Visit the ‘Downloads’ section of this site and read leaflets, written in association with world respected authorities on the subject. Also, visit the BackCare charity’s own website at www.www.backcare.org.uk for even more reports and background reading on the issue.
The consequences of poor seating especially from early years is detrimental to our learning, long-term health and to our comfort.
