Pain in the back, shoulder, arms or any other musculoskeletal pain should not govern your life.

This is the by far the best sitting/working video ever!! Thanks Olivier, you have just saved my life!!
I writing a lot. Once you said the best siting posture when writing is to have a document holder. The desk should be a bit tilted, not 100% flat. Can you make a video exhaling that? What kind of document holder to what kind of desk to write on?
great video, thanks so much!!
Perfect guide as always! Thank you!
Great, clear explanation! Many thanks!
This is such a great video. Thank you for your content!
Great information. As a musician who sits while practicing guitar and piano for hours a day I believe I can adapt your guidelines to suit my needs and maintain good posture. Perhaps a video aimed at musicians would be helpful. Particularly instruments like guitar, cello, piano etc. These are instruments which tend to make one hunch over without necessarily being aware of the poor posture which hours of practice can cause. It can lead to many problems including tendonitis, carpal tunnel syndrome and back problems. Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge.
thanks a lot for this great video, I know understand so many things I ve been doing wrong!
thanks a lot you are really helpful. I ll try doing the things you suggest and hope to avoid the back pain that I have for years
let us know if you managed!!
You are such a hero for making this knowledge available to all. I suffer from dorsal pain and your video helped me a lot. Thank you so much ❤
By the way, I just found out about your book and I bought it! I will keep it as a treasure and go back to reviewing it every once in a while to maintain posture.
thank you Miquel!! Your words are very kind and encouraging ☺
was expecting an affiliate link to buy chair on Amazon but not today. Thanks.
I'm not affiliate anywhere yet :) This helps me provide the best quality advice for the viewers....
This is amazing ! I am from India and ever since lockdown, my graduate friends (incñuding me) have developed cervical problems and Physiotherapy seems such a bother. So we joined gym which is great but never knew the source needs to be corrected as well.
Thank you so much !!!
Ps - how can we buy this video for a webinar at ny company. Probably have to discuss with HR to let them be aware !
Thank you for the feedback, dear!! Look… my policy is that generosity should rule: anyone can use my TH-cam videos for free, even companies. My only condition if that you share the link to my channel or my website : oliviergirard.ch/en . You’ll pay me only if I intervene live on a webinar 😊 This is called managing a values-based company 🥂
can you provide the link do the backrest you used in the video on the kitchen table chair?
Hey dear. It's a one that I got produced for me. But another good one is this one: www.amazon.fr/Lombaire-Oreiller-Ergonomique-lombaires-sciatiques/dp/B07YZN73G2/ref=sr_1_6?crid=18S9FHPHZ5VZB&dib=eyJ2IjoiMSJ9.zxKpViXHk9RQiLGuMHjf5ny5BnuIQtrviSZGXUr3iKm2yUVdm4t0GiiCW7k_zZQPh-Kw48BvR5UPS63zPookz1MwZw8phzYj7dLBn2xw04Qai0qs1yvpjpr4RGXInyiiUgVtqoeEAKYiS3MpLOWNjbG9Vwcsq5i-zeQf7soMp8_X-lkQd0MSlEbBk9-CDXIX2bV2VUftD94w7_TQlYW9YBLjIPlQZqGLCP-pY6tSHGbHYa3mrdUw8oUyEVXrgJIZHBtwkPjfQx3iWMPr9arfrbGZ0951vic26oOHNbTbvrY.5fIu109rc8M_jTCeNTN_ULwC4cs3U7E82EBTPCkO2VI&dib_tag=se&keywords=ergonauts+coussin&qid=1710679879&sprefix=ergonauts+%2Caps%2C185&sr=8-6
Nice. Do you mind telling the brand and model of your ergonomic chair?
Thanks, Bruno! My chair is a Kinnarps +8. I have extensive experience of it, incl. within large companies, and recommend it often. To be honest, I have a headrest because I got the showroom model, but it's an expensive option compared to its usage time... better buy a great chair like this one, without the headrest, than a bad one with a headrest :-)
If you liked the video, feel free to share it to your friends and colleagues!
I'm having trouble finding Kinnarps chairs in Spain.. any substitution in this price range or lower? thanks!!
I have lumbalgia. Please help me find a good and economic rated chair. I am 70.
Hello dear, and sorry for a very late reply! The issue is that everything depends on where you live. If you can find the Kinnarps Claro, that's great. If not, have a look at this video that will help you choose: th-cam.com/video/p5jAbrT71p0/w-d-xo.html
