Bad back, do they make massage things for your computer chair?
 
I love to play long sessions, but unfortunately i have a horrible back. Do they make things that turn your computer chair into a massage thing? It's a fairly normal computer chair.

Is this the right forum? Never been here before.

you can go to office max and find chairs with built in massagers or buy massage pads.

You can also exercise to make your back stronger.

The best thing to do is change position.

I have 3 different chairs - an Aeron, a "kneeling chair" and a swiss ball. Every half hour or so I swap out which one I'm sitting on.

The other important thing to do is move your arms. Any time you don't need them on the mouse/keyboard, move them down to your sids, or above your head.

Also you have to stand up at least once an hour.

I posted this in OOT but whenever I get a new desk I'm getting a "sit to stand" desk so I can stand up for a while and keep working.

To clarify, massaging will feel good and may alleviate short term problems, but does very little to prevent long term damage.

Are all these places whorehouses or are some of them legitimate massage places?

Getting a massage at one of those places is a huge bad beat. Only theBruiser could manage to do that.

i saw a kneeling chair at my girlfriends work, some new hippy girl brought it in. it hurts my shins after a bit, but i did notice it kept my back straight. it kinda grows on you.
