The most common symptoms caused by this are stress, lack of concentration, back pain (neck pain, tendonitis, etc.), fatigue and heavy legs. It goes without saying that this also affects our children, who are still growing and are particularly susceptible to bad habits, especially poor posture. If these habits are not corrected in the long term, they are likely to damage their young and fragile bones, leaving lasting effects into adulthood: <span class=\"_4yxo\">TMS<\/span> musculoskeletal disorders, a real scourge that companies and health insurance companies are trying to remedy. Taking the problem one step at a time<span class=\"_4yxo\">BASE<\/span>\"or<span class=\"_4yxo\">Prevention is better than cure\".<\/span> makes perfect sense!<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #9ac0bf;\"><strong><span class=\"_4yxo\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#646aaf\" class=\"has-inline-color\">Bad posture at school<\/mark><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Unfortunately, as soon as they start school, our children are forced to sit for long hours, which is not natural for them. Used to moving around, this constraint quickly becomes an obstacle to concentration and a source of nervousness. While there are accessories such as massage cushions and more 'eccentric' items such as elastic bands under the feet (to name but a few) to help with children's posture problems, they don't solve the fundamental problem: the inadequacy of the furniture designed for them and the lack of 'proper' furniture.<strong>ergonomics<\/strong> the seats they sit on for 8 hours a day!<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-family: inherit;\">Admittedly, it is difficult to imagine all schools being able to equip themselves with the <strong>dynamic stool<\/strong> <span class=\"_4yxo\">ACTIVEBASE<\/span>The cost of such a change would be considerable. In the meantime, we can compensate at home by equipping our children, from an early age, with a <strong>ergonomic furniture<\/strong>It's practical, adapted to their body shape and as healthy as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span style=\"color: #9ac0bf;\"><strong><span class=\"_4yxo\"><mark style=\"background-color:rgba(0, 0, 0, 0);color:#646aaf\" class=\"has-inline-color\">The ACTIVEBASE stool for learning to sit better<\/mark><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>It is in this sense that the<strong> proprioceptive stool<\/strong>&nbsp;<span class=\"_4yxo\">ACTIVEBASE<\/span>&nbsp;has been designed.
