[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 331885, member: 1233"] The right desk chair can make a huge difference. Adjusting your chair can be the first step. I know a few profs who use the "kneeler" chairs and some who use those chairs with the big balls instead of seats. Getting up to move every hour makes a huge difference. Strengthening your abs and core will help hugely. If you have the money, those igallop things are very helpful. Proper shoes also make a big difference. If you must wear heels at work take them with you and wear sneakers or walking shoes. At lunch or on a break take a walk. If your office has stairs go up and down them for a few flights. Massage is also helpful, as is a good chiropractor. You can get a therapy cane to massage your back. They are amazing and not terribly expensive. Check ebay and medical supply places online. If you get one and want to put capsaicin cream or flexall on your back there is a way. Take a new pantyliner and stick it too the ball that massages your back. Put the cream on the liner and apply where you want it. be careful when removing the liner so you don't get the cream on your hand. Getting a footstool that is angled is also helpful. The best ones are made for nursing moms. [/QUOTE]
