I have a few (non-medicinal - intended for wearing at the Ren Faire), and they are a God-send for long days and bad posture. As long as they are well made and properly laced, there is no reason for them to be uncomfortable at all.

That chair and desk are at the wrong height relative to her long looking torso. They are too close together which encourages the hunching or alternatively perching at the end of the chair. They need to be further apart. Looks like she could drop the chair height a bit(which is what she's already trying to do by hunching or perching) without having knee trouble. Or you could put some blocks under the desk to raise it. Either way I'd fix it more permanently. I'd love to be able to draw. I can see it in my head but put pencil to paper and it becomes a horrid mess.

When I sit, I use a bar-stool height, adjustable ergonomic chair. The chair can be adjusted for height depending on my task so I don't hunch over too much. <br /><br />I spend half my time sitting and half standing. I love it! <br /><br />Just MeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5526768924178592295.post-3136944772874655982014-04-10T16:53:23.010-07:002014-04-10T16:53:23.010-07:00I suggest she try a "stand-up" desk arra...I suggest she try a "stand-up" desk arrangement.
