Me, I have a disease which is kinda wiping out my connective tissue over time, which includes those lovely soft discs in my spine, dammit. Biggest current issue with that is that it’s getting harder and harder to sit at my desk for more than ~15min without lower back pain ratcheting up…

So I was wondering if anyone here with lower back issues has found a chair that helped them sit?

From L-R, T-B, chair #2 is a saddle chair, which looks kinda interesting. Chair #4 is one I used to have, which seemingly tries to keep the spine perfectly straight-up, but it was also hell on my knees.

Now, chair #3 kinda looks like a Star Trek-style bumper-car that I’d want to ride in my very last visit to an amusement park. 😄

    Herniated L6/L7. No chair has helped me. Only things that have are

    • sit/stand desk
    • movement (the best position is the next position)
    • dead hangs, progressed to pull ups
    • deadlift, slow progression, perfect form. Teaches proper lift positioning and bracing to execute successfully.
    • same for squats

    Not medical advice in any way. These are just the things that have helped me immensely. If you take any lifting advice off the Internet, get a coach.

    I know if my back starts to hurt it’s because I’m not doing one or all of them enough.
