If
you have any extra money when setting up your desk environment, put it into a
decent office chair. It will save you much pain. You need a chair that you can
adjust so that your arms are level with the keyboard. You want a chair with good
lumbar support. You can use an Obusforme
back pad to improve a cheaper chair. The key to comfort is to keep moving, not
sit in exactly the same position all the time. The very expensive chairs let you
keep fine tweaking them to give you some variety. In the dot.com boom days,
corporations lured employees with exotic ergonomic chairs. I found a very
effective way to get the same effect cheaply is with a Sissel
Ergo Sit a sort of flat balloon you put on the seat. You squirm slightly as
you sit on it and the effect is almost miraculous in your ability to sit for
long periods without backache.
Also finds it helps to bend over backwards from time to to time supported by the back of the sofa, and let your back relax. This seems to iron the kinks out and makes it supple again.
The chair shown at the top is the Herman Miller Aeron chair. It is one of the most expensive and configurable chairs made. To my eye, it is a rather ugly chair, but people who own them rave about them.
