If so, would you please tell me how you like it? My P.T. is recommending one, and I'd like some feed back from others before I purchase one.
Thanks, Maddy |

Hi,
I don't have one but would like to have one that includes the slow treadmill. I have raised my monitor by putting a PDR (big pharmacy book) under it. I can put box under my keyboard and stand for a while. That helps. I've just recently been working without articulating arm supports (2weeks) after many, many years of using them. Had to put the left one back on for a while. I'll have to get stronger... I've also placed a long dressing mirror at the side of my work station, as a posture monitor. That's really helped me a lot too. I also use oversized tennis balls for my lumbar back. Have had vibrating/massaging chairs and other supports from time to time. I find you need to change things as time rolls along so I don't like to put a lot of money into it as I have changed my needs over the years. Try modifying with some thoughtful ingenuity before you buy. I have bought a lot of things to help... reachers, grabbers, desks, stands... I need to alter sit/stand, or just walk around and do something else for a while. it's never a pleasant interruption... aggravating is more the word. Keep trying.

hey, i did trial one (before finally giving up up on office job!) To be honest i found that any repetitive arm movements upset the TOS to no end, be it whether i was sitting or standing......i also tried all the chairs under the sun - and the fancy split middle keyboards etc.....found only thing that eleviated the TOS was not actually doing any work!
