Working in the office, sitting 8 hours staring at a screen causes general stiffness and sometimes it developes in a back or neck complaint. To better understand: extend your index finger in an attempt to let the left index finger touch the back of the left hand. Extend that finger for about three minutes. you will feel: the beginning is sore/ uncomfortable. Then you get used to it and it doesn' t bother anymore. When you reliese your finger it hurts a bit and your finger feels weird. Now imagine how your back and neck feels after 8 hours.
The secret is to sit active and positioning of your screen to prevent excessive flexing of the neck ( often the reason for that headache at the end of your working day).
Active sitting can be done with the big pilatus balls ( depending on your length) . Or you can get a sitting wedge with the same effect.
