    What does your doctor say?
    Lots of different reasons for back pain.

    Pilate's exercises to strengthen core muscles.

    No chair on its own will fix the problems

    Also speak to your company Occupational health

  • There are different reasons behind backpains. I mostly feel when I do more work over the laptop while sitting. It is better to consult with your physician but as a remedy, you should place any cushion behind your backbone exactly. It gave me great relief. Secondly, if it is about upper back pain then you should go with a comfortable chair but it is about low back pain then try to support your lower skeleton especially lower backbone via air-filled tyre or cushion etc.

    Wow.... so based on the OP, you have been able to make a diagnosis and recommend a treatment plan.

    Depending what is wrong with poster, pilates could be harmful.

    The correct advice is to seek professional advice as to the underlying of any back pain.

    While yes any person should really consult their doctor or specialist(s) when it comes to back pain, most problems are, or are made worse, if you have a weak core. Low intensity Pilates or simular, focusing on the core, is usually a good idea.

    I say the above when I have not just one but three spinal conditions. I use crutches at home and a wheelchair when out the home yet the physiotherapist I saw was more than happy with me doing Pilates as long as I was able to do the move and it didn't aggravate my condition. Most back problems are made worse if you keep still for too long and streatching in the correct way is usually what is needed.
    A Pilates ball is low intensity and used a lot to help with core and with physical therapy due to injury. Even high back pain can be caused by posture that the ball and other simular exercises helps with.

    However the OP should certainly go to a doctor and get refered if needed. They may after all require more personal exercises for their pain.

    As I pointed out , it's an issue for occupational health at work

    They will review your work station , seat etc and possibly offer some type of rehabilitation

    It's odd that you didn't mention surgery in your first post, just 'as a result of the tight calendar'.

      This is a MoneySaving site. If you have a medical problem, please use NHS Direct or go to your doctor. This forum, and the Health, Beauty and Fashion board in particular, are not the place to discuss it.
      The Health board is for discussion of all issues surrounding health, diet, nutrition and how they relate to MoneySaving. Discussing medical insurance policies, cheaper ways to see consultants, cashback for alternative health treatments, how to get specific medication cheaper (legally) are all perfectly acceptable forms of discussion.
      It is very specifically and strictly not for the discussion of what to do in the event of certain medical problems. Please do not ask questions about this.
      Even though medically-qualified people sometimes visit these forums, we would ask them to refrain from answering specific medical questions. This leaves us open to somebody coming on, pretending to be a doctor when they're not, and giving advice.
    I think this thread should be closed.
    Board guides...?
