WHAT CAUSES
SHOULDER PAIN
When the upper body isn’t positioned in proper alignment the shoulder girdle is at a mechanical disadvantage. The muscles surrounding the joint become imbalanced and this places extra strain on the muscles and tendons resulting in pain or injury.
Common Shoulder Pain Causes Include:
- Impingement Syndrome
- Thoracic Outlet Syndrome
- Rotator Cuff Injury
HOW SITTING LEADS TO
SHOULDER PAIN
Sitting in a slouched posture can worsen the muscle imbalances surrounding the shoulder.
This misalignment can compress the muscles and tendons making them unable to achieve their full range of motion.

JOINT MISALIGNMENT
Sitting in a poor posture causes opposing muscle groups to be weaker/tighter or weaker/longer, creating an imbalance in the spine.
Anthros supports the spine in an upright balanced posture to reduce muscle imbalances, minimizing the risk of injury and shoulder pain.
MUSCLE IMBALANCES
The independently adjustable two-part back system aligns the body in a neutral posture by allowing the user to customize their sit.
By supporting the pelvis, then balancing the upper back, the effortless upright position reduces shoulder pain and neck pain.
"Dynamically changing the positions of the lumbar vertebrae and pelvis during sitting has been found to help reduce posture-related pain."
- Journal Of Physical Therapy Science
MUSCLE FATIGUE
Muscle fatigue occurs when you are holding your body in an upright position for long periods of time in sitting.
Standard recline causes a slouched posture and muscle imbalances.
Anthros allows you to relax in tilt.
This feature maintains your posture and reduces the risk of fatigued back muscles which can result in shoulder pain.
INCREASED MOBILITY
Unlike a traditional backrest, Anthros has a hinged tapered upper back that allows for shoulder retraction and thoracic decompression. This increases mobility and optimizes upper body positioning and shoulder mobility.
GUARANTEED TO BE THE MOST COMFORTABLE CHAIR ON THE PLANET OR YOUR MONEY BACK
UNMATCHED COMFORT
Contoured to match the curves of the body with patented pressure relief cutouts to protect the sit bones which = decreased pain for a long lasting sit.

ADJUSTABLE 2-PART BACK SYSTEM
Anthros has designed an adjustable 2-part back system that can support most individual body types. The low back pelvis support works with the upper back to promote an upright posture reducing the risks of poor posture- back pain, neck pain, shoulder pain, hip pain and more.
LOWER BACK PELVIS SUPPORT
The patented lower back pelvis support captures and stabilizes the pelvis, the foundation of high performance sitting. By doing this, the natural curves of the spine are kept intact. When you support the pelvis, the lumbar region is naturally supported with it and the postural muscles can relax.
TAPERED UPPER BACK SUPPORT
The upper back support can be adjusted to meet the mid/upper back, supporting an upright optimal posture. The tapered shape allows shoulders to be pulled back in sitting to maintain optimal posture when actively working.
4D ARM SUPPORTS
Anthros has designed cushioned, 4D arm supports that can be adjusted to support different postures and positions.
TILT
Tilt is a resting posture, where the sitting alignment is maintained while the whole system tilts rearward. Tilt reduces the pressure of gravity on the body while maintaining the neutral seated posture without inducing friction or sliding on the seated surface. The result is a resting position that doesn’t compromise posture or focus.
CUSHION
The contoured premium foam cushion with pressure relieving cutouts in the rear well displaces pressure away from the sit bones. The result is greater pressure distribution when sitting upright, decreasing pain, and improving comfort and stability when sitting for long periods of time.
SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Anthros recommends adjusting seat to floor height as it relates to the workspace rather than simply adjusting to get feet on the floor. We provide a footrest for people 5’6” and under to ensure parallel leg position and optimal foot support at the workspace.
BASE
The 4-spoke base non swivel option prevents caster interference with the feet, while adding to the beauty of the overall design. It moves smoothly and turns as a unit, reducing the incidence of bruised ankles and scuffed shoes.
ADJUSTABLE 2-PART BACK SYSTEM
Anthros has designed an adjustable 2-part back system that can meet most individual body shapes and sizes. The contoured upper back is designed to maximize range of motion for mouse swiping to accommodate various playing styles. Both the upper and lower back adjust independently to support and hold you in that intense match playing posture or a more relaxed playing posture. Customizable skins are also available to match your aesthetic and gaming setup.
LOWER BACK PELVIS SUPPORT
This support is the most unique feature of the chair, and it crushes the myth of a lumbar support or lumbar pillow. A lumbar support only pushes into your spine, the pelvis support, naturally lifts you to hold your back into a good posture. The patented lower back pelvis pad supports and lifts the hip area (pelvis and sacrum) naturally to avoid poor posture and aches and pains while gaming. Dial in your posture, seat depth, and gaming style with the one and only adjustable lower back pelvis support on the market.
TAPERED UPPER BACK SUPPORT
The unique back shape allows your upper body to be in the best posture while gaming. This position can help prevent elbow and wrist injuries. The upper back is also contoured laterally to help hold you in a supported posture. The upper back has a patented free-moving hinge that can be utilized to stretch throughout the day. This back design naturally prevents your head from falling forwards during the day and can reduce the risk of new pain and headaches.
4D Arm Supports
Anthros has designed cushioned, 4D arm supports that can be adjusted for different postures and positions to reduce wrist and elbow injuries. The armrests have extra padding and are shaped to allow you to get closer to your PC or console for optimized performance and posture.
TILT
The only gaming chair on the market that provides this feature known as Tilt. Tilt is a preferred resting position to relax and maintain that good posture. Tilt uses gravity to your advantage to reduce muscle fatigue when sitting for a long period of time.
CUSHION
A dual density foam is contoured with pressure relieving “domes” in the rear well to relieve pressure under the sit bones. The result is greater pressure distribution when sitting upright, decreasing pain, and improving comfort and stability when sitting for long periods of time.
SEAT HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT
Anthros recommends adjusting seat to floor height as it relates to the workspace rather than simply adjusting to get feet on the floor. We provide a footrest for people 5’6” and under to ensure parallel leg position and optimal foot support at the workspace.
BASE
The 4-spoke base non swivel option prevents caster interference with the feet, while adding to the beauty of the overall design. It moves smoothly and turns as a unit, reducing the incidence of bruised ankles and scuffed shoes.

LOWER BACK PELVIS SUPPORT
The patented lower back pelvis support captures and stabilizes the pelvis, the foundation of pain free sitting. By doing this, the natural curves of the spine are kept intact. When you support the pelvis, the lumbar region is naturally supported with it and the postural muscles can relax.
TAPERED UPPER BACK SUPPORT
The upper back support can be adjusted to meet the mid/upper back, supporting an upright optimal posture. The tapered shape allows shoulders to be pulled back in sitting to maintain the upright posture even when actively working. The free moving hinge allows the pad to adapt tothe posture and can be used to elongate the spine.This elongation works to decompress the spine,reducing intervertebral disc pressure which in turncan reduce pain.
4D ARM SUPPORTS
Anthros has designed cushioned, 4D arm supports that can be adjusted to support different postures and positions.
TILT
Tilt is a resting posture, where the sitting alignment is maintained while the whole system tilts rearward.
