Build-A-Chair System™ was developed after nearly three decades working in ergonomic seating and workplace health, during a period when global working patterns have changed significantly. Increased sitting and more sedentary roles have led to musculoskeletal (MSK) issues becoming one of the leading causes of discomfort, reduced productivity, and time away from work across the UK and internationally. Despite greater awareness, regulation, and investment, MSK-related absence continues to rise, accounting for millions of lost working days each year in the UK alone. While many well-intentioned solutions exist — such as adjustable chairs, workplace assessments, posture training, and wellbeing initiatives — they are often generic, reliant on self-adjustment, or disconnected from clinical insight, resulting in trial-and-error purchasing, repeated interventions, and inconsistent outcomes, particularly for individuals with complex or long-term needs.

​

Build-A-Chair System™ addresses this gap by starting with the person rather than the chair. Using clinically informed assessment and musculoskeletal expertise, seating is built from individual components to match specific physical requirements, posture, and real working environments. The service extends beyond delivery to include assessment, specification, setup, follow-up, and ongoing adjustment, ensuring seating supports treatment rather than undermines it, evolves as needs change, and contributes to improved long-term outcomes, reduced preventable discomfort, and healthier, more sustainable working environments.
