1-Choose a comfortable chair and table . 2-Take a break every hour from sitting and do some walking. 3-Use mouse instead of touch pad for laptop,it helps you to stay in a good posture.

Pool, gym and walking a lot

Forget about everything! 12 Surya Namaskar every morning will do wonders for your body.

As a quick fix, lie on your stomach when you retire for the day, and place a hot water bottle on your spine. This did give me temporary relief when i was working as an overworked techie and forgot / didnt have time to do exercise.

Now that i am an #entrepreneur, i place a premium on doing exercise, so have never suffered from any kind of pain, except maybe the cash kind :D

If possible, try switching to a desk that allows you to flip between sitting and standing throughout the day. It's nice to switch up your posture like this every few hours.

I too have this problem my lower back hurts. :(

Standup and make some strechts each hour

1. Move your computer monitor away from the window Extraneous light, or glare, is the greatest source of eyestrain for computer users. No matter where your computer screen is relative to a window, adjustable shades, curtains or blinds should be used to effectively control light throughout the day. Avoid facing an un-shaded window, as the difference in brightness between the screen and the outdoors may cause eye stress and discomfort. Consider an anti-glare screen to further reduce reflections.

2. Adjust your monitor height For maximum eye comfort, place the centre of the screen five to nine inches below your horizontal line of sight. You should be looking just over the top of the monitor in your straight-ahead gaze.

3. Check your contacts Studies show that when looking at a computer or digital screen, people spend more time concentrating and blink less frequently (up to three times less than normal). Long periods of non-blinking can cause the surface of your eyes and contact lenses to dry out, which can lead to discomfort and loss of visual clarity. Talk to an eye care professional about lenses that provide wearers with increased moisture all day.

4. Adjust your computer display Modifying your monitor display settings can help reduce eye strain and fatigue. Alter the brightness of your display so it is the same as the brightness of your surrounding workstation. When reading long documents, modify them so they you are reviewing black print on a white background.

5. Take breaks The eyes are not meant for seeing at a close distance for hours at a time without a break. Follow the 20/20/20 rule: Take a 20-second break every 20 minutes. Focus your eyes on points at least 20 feet from your computer. Keep your eyes moving while looking at objects at various distances.

6. Adjust your monitor distance If you can touch the screen when you sit back in your chair, the monitor is too close. Use the “One Third Rule.” With your monitor on, displaying a typical document or email you use every day, move back from the screen until it just starts to become blurred. Measure this distance and divide by three; your monitor should be placed at that distance.

I have a standing desk at the office and a treadmill desk at home. If you get a standing desk, most recent studies are finding that a combination of sitting and standing is best for your health. So, shop for something that can do both.

What really helped me - I started attending boxing training. At first, it was nothing, but fitness with(and without) gloves, a lot of running, a lot of jumping and so on. But then body got a pretty good shape and my long sitting at office became not so painful. I realized - it was what I need. I has been attended boxing training session twice a week for a last three years. And my back's muscle corset became so strong that I can sit a couple of hours without break and don't feel tired because of that. As a bonus I can knock out anyone who is standing on my way. ;-)

P.s.: please, do not forget to stretch your body after each training session - it's very important (to give your muscles some sort of relax command)!

I sit cross legged most of the time.

Sleeping in a hammock will help with back pain.

I have a Herman Miller "Mirra" chair and it's awesome.

But you'll get more benefit by being fit and healthy, the chair just avoids doing extra damage. I cycle and rock climb - not nearly as much as I should, but still :)

If you have serious back pain, get medical advice/treatment. Don't mess around, get it sorted by professionals :)

I have motorized IKEA BEKANT standing desk legs, with a custom top made by a local carpenter. Gym also helps, excercise especially your feet and back.

Sometimes back pain can be originated on the legs (that was my case). So stretching my legs and hips, and agressive massages on the tights helped me a lot.

Better to get an checkup first only doctor can say what they can recommended. I got a bone fracture with lumbar which is l4 to l6 discs.

Get a standing desk either motorized or not as long as you can stand for a long time also walk at least every day.

Yeah better to be alert when something hurt with your lower back. Just a friendly advise :)

Humans were invented to move not to sit

Our bodies were invented by the nature to move, to hunt, to be flexible, not to sit

Practice Yoga, Tai Chi, Qi Gong, Wushu, or any martial arts, or just do workouts, exercises, walking, running, cycling, skiing. Find your style. Keep exploring. I also do prefer walking to/from office and not using any transport or car until there is no hurricane, 20m snow or you are really tired.

Always move your butt out of the office every lunchtime. If restaurant is nearby take longer routes, if there are any parks you can spend some time there. It's true not only when you want to eat, but when you can't work or have stress. Sitting in the office won't help you if you stuck, just go out there and, maybe, fresh air will give you an answer.

Peace comes from within, don't seek it outside

You don't need B for A. You don't need any magic chair to be healthy. Moreover, it will never help you. Never seek for inner balance, peace, health outside. It is always and only inside. Many people go to doctors, believe in this magic and things outside their own body and mind which will somehow solve their problems. People just became too lazy and weak. Doctors or anyone else will never help you until you won't change your mind and lifestyle and when you will - you won't need anyone else.

Just move and move a lot.

Get up and move around.

Maintain some routine of exercise (I prefer walking).

Eat a healthy diet (I work at a candy company, so this one is challenging for me)

Any kind of pain or fatigue can be debilitating to being productive. But it's a matter of staying aware that a balance is needed. Maintaining a healthy lifestyle will forever pay dividends in how you feel and the work you produce.

I found the perfect tool for this a decade or so ago: workrave. It works on all major platforms. The only thing you must do is to not cheat.

But I'm basically repeating what others said. Sitting behind your keyboard and coding 8+ hours a day is bad for your body, and I haven't even scratched the surface. If I have 3-4 weeks with 30+ hours of coding, I start looking at what I'm doing wrong.

Keep moving. Literally.

What part of your back is in pain? The area (sacrum, lumbar, thoracic, or cervical spine) would determine the best course of action to take.

Drink a lot of water, so every one hour you got to walk to the rest room :P

Sit up straight, shoulders back.

And walk about, regularly :).

I agree with Emil Moe here. There is not going to be a "perfect chair that solves all back problems" just like there is no perfect operating system that never crashes and is 100% secure. I like chairs where I can lean bar far so that way I have options on different postures throughout the day, rather than a chair that locks me into one posture the entire day.

In fact, I would argue that sitting in general, or standing, in 1 position for any length of time over 30 mins to an hour is itself the problem. For this reason, what I do is try to MOVE as much as possible. Change posture, change position, sometimes change mice and keyboards (I have several different types of each), take stretch breaks, wrok out, etc...

For me, it requires ALL OF THAT to fight off back pain and fatigue and even still, sometimes it catches up to me. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND getting yourself a high-density foam roller and 3-4 times daily, rolling your back out on it with special focus on your lats and where they connect to your lower back. You can also get a massage ball and push it into your back against the wall or floor.
