(I got the bright red one.)<\/p>\n<p><strong>The design forces you to keep your back straight when used properly<\/strong> &#8212; i.e. sitting in a \u00e2\u20ac\u009dsaddle\u00e2\u20ac\u009d posture, which lowers the thighs and puts the spine into a lordotic curve. Although I've caught myself using it like a standard stool, more often than not I'm using it properly now, and voila! no more back pain! Yee-ha!!<\/p>\n<p>Another benefit of the \u00e2\u20ac\u009dsaddle\u00e2\u20ac\u009d posture is that it allows users to get closer to their work &#8212; which is great when your eye-sight is diminishing (no doubt due to too much work at the computer) and you refuse to wear reading glasses. I guess those will be the next purchase. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n<p>You can see the chair in action in my <a href=\"https:\/\/rosalindgardner.com\/blog\/25-things-in-my-home-office\/\">Home Office Video<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Gives maximum ergonomic benefit to the sitter&#8230; Ever since my car accident in late August, I&#8217;d been having trouble sitting in my standard office chair for more than about 20 minutes before my back and shoulders would start to ache.
