Quite educational  for me. I had carpal tunnel before and went for an operation. Did crossed my mind to sit on a physio ball but I find the ball take up too much space and is not as mobile as a chair with roller legs. Instead I take the chair part out of the the roller legs. In its place, I put a phone book A phone book is bendable because it is made of paper. Lets see if I can think of anything better.

What I have to keep in mind is not to

• slouch on the chair especially when you have a back rest
• rest my wrist on the table.
• press the mouse button too much. You could use mousekeys instead.
• rest my weight on my calf (near the knee area)
• not to sit for long period of time.

Remember not to stress the neck, wrist, backbone and calf.
