Abstract
An ergonomic desk system and chair for promoting hip flexibility and strength and reducing lower back pain. The ergonomic desk system broadly comprises a variably positioned, raised platform, mounting assemblies for office peripherals, a recessed storage unit mounted on an underside of the platform, a lumbar support coupled to the platform, and a stool. Use of the desk system allows a user to sit on the platform in numerous positions while still performing routine office work. The ergonomic chair broadly comprises a base, a first, lower platform, and a second, upper platform spaced above the first, lower platform. The user sits on the second platform and rests their legs on the first platform in various positions. Use of the ergonomic chair results in the user rotating their pelvis to a position that is comfortable and properly aligned.
