My New Desk Chair

I have been sent back to physical therapy once again due to a car accident we had almost 20 years ago.  I have suffered almost constant back and neck pain since then and have found that physical therapy and massage have been my only relief.

This time around, the physical therapist suggested that I get a new desk chair for when I sit at the computer.

Her thought was this new chair would aid in strengthening my core muscles and would hasten the rehabilitation of my back and neck muscles.

Now, this is not just any chair.
Oh no.  It is a chair that is meant to engage one's core muscles at all times.

It's a balance ball!

65 mm to be exact.
Extra strong, just to be on the safe side.

Kind of fun, 
definitely bouncy.

You can get these in the sporting goods sections of any discount stores.

I want one. Now.

Be warned that it does work your muscles. So you should get up and move around every 30 minutes or so. But that is just good for you, any way.

The 65 mm is good for a regular height desk. If you have a counter-height desk, you might consider a 75 mm ball.

I must have the two.
65 and 75mm

I'm so going to hurt myself.
