STAT leads campaign to ban
school chairs ‘bad’ for
children’s backs

STAT is calling for changes to the European
standard which currently allows a school
chair to slope backwards by five degrees.

Backward sloping chairs encourage children
to adopt poor posture which health experts
say increases the risk of back pain among
children during their school years and,
crucially, later in life.

Regain Control of your Body to Alleviate Pain, Improve Posture and Enhance Performance
The Alexander Technique works by helping you to identify and prevent the harmful postural habits that aggravate, or may be the cause of, stress, pain and under-performance.

You will learn how to release tension and rediscover balance of mind and body. With increased awareness you can:

be poised without stiffness
move gracefully and powerfully with less effort
be alert and focused with less strain
breathe and speak more easily and freely
be calm and confident
