Steelcase Leap V2 review
This user suggests that discomfort with ergonomic chairs sometimes isn't about the chair itself but rather physical conditioning. They note that people might need to stretch or strengthen their neck or shoulder areas, as ergonomics alone don't fix underlying physical weakness. They recommend neck isometric exercises for endurance and shoulder exercises like scapular retractions. They emphasize that isometric holds for endurance are best, followed by isotonic exercises for movement of joints. They personally experienced bad pain near shoulder blades and lower back area from their Steelcase Leap v2, which they resolved through ergonomics adjustments (desk placement and height) combined with static holds and scapular retraction exercises. They state that if someone lives a sedentary lifestyle without stretches or endurance exercises, no chair will eliminate pain or help for long sessions. They recommend 1 Hour Per Chair blogs online aside from YouTube for additional guidance.
Cons
- May cause shoulder blade and lower back pain if user lacks physical conditioning
- Won't solve pain issues on its own for sedentary users
