At last ...

My work chair has come!!!

After a game of silly-beggars and telling porkie-pies, my boss finally did order my supportive chair and it has finally arrived.

I have had a good fiddle with it (but will get the ATW chap to come out and set it up properly.) Well it really made a difference today.

I had an inactive morning (very rare in my job) - I sat working on the computer and then attended a two hour meeting AND because of the ingenius design of the chair .. I was not stiff at the end of it!!! It is a free float chair (the back and seat move with your body), which enables you to alter your position and wriggle so you don't get stiff.

Had aenough energy to take S for a walk this evening ...

Now I need to work out how I can fit in a few comfortable sit downs into each day....

Oh that is good news, it's only taken, what, three months, perhaps four? (Not good enough, yes?) I am pleased you are pleased, let's hope it really helps. Good luck with it, speedy, you deserve it! DD

Hi Speedy

I was wondering if you had got it and thought maybe I had missed it somewhere on a thread when I haven't been around. :oops: YAHOO indeed.

At last! a bit of a belated birthday pressie which I hope you enjoyed too? I am glad the first test run went well. If only he had ordered it earlier, it wasn't too much to ask for and could make things so much more comfy for you. Hope work not sapping too many spoons for you at the moment. I do know that feeling. :roll:
take care, I hope S alot better now too.

It sounds lovely Speedy.I just hope you get the chance to use it as much as possible.Are they expensive to buy? Just wondered if they were worth getting for home as get all stiff in the home chairs. I'm guessing they are very expensive!

NB it just goes to show how much the right equipment can help. Have you had your occy health appointments and seen if there is anything else ATW can help you with?

Hi Ironic

Hi Chris, exactly! Work as you know does take up a lot of energy, and I get more tired as the week progresses. If I can get a few (even brief) sit downs on the new chair it should really help me save a few spoons! S is a lot better now, thank you for asking.

Hi Poppy, that is going to be the challenge…

Hi Julie, I did joke that I would sit on my new chair and rest my feet on the teaching chair/perching stool …

Hi Elizabeth, it was very expensive (about £500!!) - and yes it would be great for many folks to have one at home. It is far more comfy than anything I have at home - even my recliner chair. The freefloat feature that enables you to move about whilst seated stops the stiffness setting in and it is highly adjustable.

Hi Tony, definitely come and have a go in it - everyone at school likes it... I'm threatening to charge them - but free passes to all who have to put up with arther!!!

Hi Toni. I need to make sure I get a few sit downs in each day to benefit from it.
The book is The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook: Your Self-Treatment Guide for Pain Relief, Second Edition by Amber Davies, David G. Simons. I borrowed a copy of a colleague and ended up buying my own copy. The anatomical names put me off at first, but I quickly learnt how to locate the trigger points by feel - having cured my tension headaches - I then started seeking out and treating other trigger points ...
