Hi Guys,
This may be a strange posting but I am looking for any information you people
may have.
I have a lady who has had longstanding back pain. Approx 1yr ago, I did a
workstation on her and ordered her a new fully adjustable chair. Recently, her
Chiropractor has advised her to use a gym ball to sit on at her workstation
which caused me some concern.
Apparently she has been using it for 2 weeks and feels that her pain levels
have drastically improved. I have concerns, as to me it makes her unstable
and gives her no support what-so-ever and when considering both the DSE
regs and the HASAWA it is prob not the best thing she can sit on!
I have been seeing a Physio for my own back recently and she has given me
some strengthening exercises to do to strengthen my inner core, this being
similar to the effect of the gym ball. My client has been through this already
and this is the only thing she can say that has helped.
Have any of you come across this situation before, if so how did you go about
managing it?
Regards
Rachael
