I have to deal with a very strong hardened and shortened Illiopsoas, these are the so-called hip flexors. It was and is extremely painful. Since this muscle ansetzte also the lower back I only thought it was my lower back, which causes an almost complete stiffness in the pelvis. In addition to targeted exercise and many stretching exercises with which I have come good again, I've been looking for a place to sit where I can let my knees dangling below the level of the hip, without interrupting on edge of a chair, the blood supply to the legs, or even down to slip , The Sitness swivel stool seemed to be very good from the price / performance ratio. I am not "cured," but prolonged sitting is easier for me than on a "normal" office chair. The stool immediately enticed to move back and forth. What the recommendation "the next sitting position is the best" comes to meet. Of course, this stool does not produce miracles, but I have at least one working day less to shoulder tension - which of course I can only feel, but do not measure. I like to sit on the top star and it's actually fun with it rumzuwackeln. Good thing, I'll buy it for me at home. At the moment I use the stool in the office.
