I’ve made this comment before but I’ll do it again because I honestly feel like the way Westerners approach this problem is deeply wrong.

Look to the East my brethren! Get a kneeling bench or meditation cushion set, buy a bench from Ikea, put your computer on it and get to work.

This goes even better with an external ergonomic keyboard like the Kinesis and a height adjustable laptop stand clamped to the bench.

I really like this idea. I have struggled with back and neck issues for a long time. I think I shall have to try this. Btw, that thinkpad looks exactly like my p51s.

It’s a P50!

No kidding, I’ve struggled with the same my whole life. Got into Olympic lifting, saw chiropractors, osteopaths: moving to sit on the floor was the only thing that saved me.

My Keybase is linked in my profile if you have any questions!

Do you kneel or sit cross legged?

I alternate throughout the day. You will need to if you are just starting out. Both postures encourage the lengthening of independent muscle groups.

In this previous comment [1] I list a cushion and bench you may use for either style!
