From the material point of view, it can be divided into panel office chairs, steel office chairs, metal office chairs, soft office chairs, etc.

[0003] Existing office chairs are usually ordinary chairs that do not conform to ergonomic design, causing workers to suffer from back pain and fatigue after sitting for a long time. They cannot be adjusted according to the user's body shape, resulting in the user's waist being suspended or overly squeezed. In addition, existing office chairs are usually not intelligent enough and cannot perform shoulder, neck and waist massage according to the user's needs, which cannot effectively relieve fatigue and is very inconvenient to use. Therefore, an ergonomic office chair structure with good fatigue relief effect and its use method are proposed to solve the above problems. Summary of the Invention
