I have a hard time sitting. I finally found a great way to sit in my chair at home. I use my balance ball to cushion my back while I sit. The trick is that I take my shirt off so that my skin sticks to the ball and it stretches my back out WHILE I SIT! I have a small balance ball now because I sit in a recliner. I used to sit on a small cot with the bigger balance ball behind me on the cot. If you have a balance ball, try this but remember to take your shirt off. (I actually do it naked sometimes because I like to put the ball on my lower back/butt) You may find that funny but it really works for me. Try it if you don't believe me...

I can't thank my Sweety enough for getting me this ball. Thanx Sweety!
