Question 10

I have sciatica. Which chair should I choose?

Accepted Answer

Many surgeons experiencing sciatica report improved comfort with a more open hip angle, such as that provided by a saddle seat. We recommend contacting Rini or your local distributor for an individualized ergonomic assessment of seating posture, pelvic alignment, and chair configuration to help reduce discomfort and minimize the risk of aggravating symptoms during surgery. For optimal results, ergonomic adjustments are often combined with personalized advice and movement assessment from a physiotherapist or ergonomics specialist.
