Today, with how much we all sit at our desks it’s nearly impossible not to have some aches and stiffness at work. However, there is a difference between the mild pain from a stiff joint and debilitating persistent pain that many of us fight through every day of the work week.

Before I can get up to refill my water I’ve got a nickel sized ball of muscle tissue that will continue to ruin the rest of my day. Because of this, I’ve decided to invest a little time looking a little deeper at the ergonomics of my working environment and thought I’d share a few possible solutions for others who might be in my same position.
