I spoke at a dental conference last month and met a man who had an evolution chair. He was at the conference telling dentists and their staff about the benefits of this chair. It's a big ball on a stand (see picture) and it looks kind of funny but looks can be deceiving. I asked him about it and he told me all about it and I was intrigued. I told him that I had lower back pain and had spent lots of dollars on executive chairs that gave me a backache! He said, "with this chair, never again." He gave me his card, the evolution chair brochure and told me to call the company and get one. I did. I have been sitting on it for about a month now and it has changed my life--for the better. Jackie, the cat, my office mate now has taken over the executive chair as her own. Fine with me because I have a kinder chair.
I don't stand up with stiffness and lower back pain. I am pain free because this chair forces me to sit properly! It forces my spine to position itself properly! Finally I can work all day and not be bummed out with a bad back when I go downstairs to play with the dog and the cat.
So how does this chair relate to body language? When you are working, if your back is hurting, you won't be working up to your maximum ability. When my back is hurting, I don't make the calls I need to make or do the writing I need to do. And, your physiology (pain) will change your psychology (bad mood or attitude). Is that what you want while you are working? Is that what you want when you arrive home to your spouse and kids? I don't think so.
I don't recommend products but I can tell you that this chair has changed my physiology and my psychology for the better. When you feel good, you can tell and the people around you can tell simply by reading your body language. When you feel bad, people pick up on that whether they are right in front of you or even on the phone. Don't let your physiology interfere with you business or personal life. Get a kinder chair like I did!
