So I'm a full time editor now, and so spend quite a bit of time at my desk in front of my computer. Regular computer chairs just kill my back, so I've been trying out various different things. A kneeling style chair was ok for a few days, then started messing with my knees.
Currently I'm trying out a yoga exercise ball, and this looks like it might work. I can shift around on it, move and stretch and twist, plus it encourages me to keep my spine straight as I balance on it because it moves a bit even if I'm not, really. It is one HELL of a workout, too, especially with music going because I actually dance in place. Got a rather large range of movement, while keeping my hands steady at the keyboard. Will have to wait and see if I still like it in a week.
I have no idea what I'll try next if this doesn't work out. I've already been through 3 or 4 regular chairs also trying to find one that wasn't hideously uncomfortable.
