Rob McKeown - Tuggerah
NSW
I have been “desk bound” for
over 30 years in my employment with the State Government. As
a consequence
I developed classic poor posture degeneration of the L6 lumbar
region, with disc compression touching the root nerves and causing
sciatica pain, and chronic lumbar discomfort.
In 2000, I was off work for 3 months with
extreme back pain. After extensive physiotherapy, I returned
to work under the supervision
of an occupational therapist. Among other things she arranged for
the provision of a special ergonomic chair, which was significantly
better than any other chair in my work place. Other staff used
to borrow it when I was on leave. Over the past 6 years I have
managed to maintain my desk job by using the ergonomic chair, and
a kneeling stool specially made for me, and taking regular “stretch
breaks”.
Recently my office was relocated to new premises
which were furbished with new work stations and chairs by Gregory
Commercial Furniture. Expecting
new chairs to be unsuitable for my chronic back problems, I took
my old chair and stool with me to the new office. This proved unnecessary.
The standard Gregory clerical chairs provided at the new office
are so good, that I am no longer using either my old chair or the
kneeling stool, and I need less “stretch breaks” than
previously.
I was so impressed with the Gregory chairs,
that I have now purchased one for my computer desk at home, and
two for my wife’s office.
Thank you Gregory Commercial Furniture for developing
and marketing seating which supports and protects our vulnerable
backs.
Yours sincerely

I would like to thank you for
providing those of us involved with occupational health and safety
with such a well researched product as the Gregory chair.
It is my experience that the Gregory
chair has helped many people such as individuals with long upper
trunks or those experiencing back pain. They have found the Gregory
chair to have great benefit. As a consulting ergonomist I have
conducted many hundreds of workstation assessments for major
Federal Government Departments, such as the Department of Primary
Industry and Energy and more recently the Department of Social
Security. I have recommended that specific individuals suffering
pains in the back, shoulders and neck be provided with a Gregory
chair. I believe the chair has played a large part in reducing
or eliminating their pain.
A number of Departments use Gregory
chairs to prevent injury occurring in the work place as well
as to alleviate pain.

IOH - Injury & Occupational
Health Management
An employee of the State Rail
Authority was injured in November 2000, and as a result of the
back injury sustained, the employee was unable to return to their
pre-injury duties and was given assistance by IOH, an external
Rehabilitation Provider company to identify appropriate sedentary
duties in the clerical area.
The Occupational Therapist assessing
the workstation recommended the Inca Ergonomic
Chair by Gregory Chairs as this chair provided a moulded
posture support base which would provide excellent support to
the pelvis, allowing the correct blood circulation while providing
minimal pressure. The back support of this chair also had an
appropriate lumbar curvature support to maintain the injured
workers correct back posture, again avoiding strain or fatigue
to the lower back soft tissues from prolonged sitting.

Reducing the risk of further injury
or aggravation is a vital strategy in maintaining clients in
the workplace and our therapists regularly recommend Gregory
chairs as a component of a client's rehabilitation program, due
to adjustable features such as height, backrest and seat angle
We have also provided Gregory
chairs for our own staff in order to promote occupational health
and safety practices in our office.

As a rehabilitation provider,
I have frequently recommended Gregory Chairs. For normal office
duties these chairs are superior to the majority of chairs available
and are often cheaper than chairs of similar quality. The use
of different densities of foam on the seat of the chair makes
your chairs much more tolerable for people with sciatic pain
and more comfortable for prolonged sitting for people without
pain.
Inferior chairs are poor economy
in the longer term.

Seating is usually a major consideration
in obtaining a satisfactory working posture at a workstation.
It is often necessary to trial several different types of chairs
in order to reach a solution which is satisfactory to the worker.
I recommend the Gregory range of chairs to my clients due to
the following features of the chairs :
Shaping and padding of seat pad
Adjustable backrest angle
Height and tilt adjustments
Backrests
