The ergonomics trap - shoulder pain
Shoulder pain when driving? Here's what you can do about it.
Does this sound familiar? After a long drive on the highway, you get out of the car and feel that unpleasant pull in your neck or shoulder. You are not alone. Thousands of drivers suffer from shoulder strain while driving.
The cause is often surprisingly simple: an incorrect arm position.
Why does it hurt? The ergonomics trap.
Anyone who drives for long periods of time instinctively looks for a rest for their left arm to relieve the strain on their shoulder muscles. But the reality in most cars is different:
Too deep & too hard: The door shelf is often made of hard plastic and positioned far too low.
The result: To place your elbow there, you have to bend to the left. Your spine becomes crooked, your left shoulder droops and your right side tenses up. An ergonomic disaster.
The solution: the armrest that helps.
Instead of hunching over, simply compensate for the height difference. The armrelaxpad was developed specifically for this: it raises the door armrest to a healthy, ergonomic level.
Straight sitting posture: Your shoulders remain level. Your neck and back relax immediately.
No pressure points: Statt auf hartem Plastik ruht dein Ellbogen auf weichem Polster.
Do something good for your health.
The ergonomic effect:
- As soon as your elbow is supported, muscle tension in the shoulder and neck area drops noticeably. You arrive more relaxed – whether after 50 km or 500 km.
Drive first class from now on. The Armrelaxpad can be retrofitted in seconds - without tools, without marks.
