How I fixed my back pain

Since I was a purple belt, I started to develop lower back pain.

Somehow, I always blamed BJJ as the cause of the pain.

But during our 4 months lock down, I stopped training BJJ and the pain was worst.

From an advice from a student who had back pain, I looked into an ergonomic chair as I work about 8 hours per day sitting on a chair typing on a computer.

They are quiet expensive but there is no price to get rid rid of the pain.

I went to my nearest Warehouse stationary store.

Their entry level Ergonomic chair starts at $379.

But I noticed they also has an Ergo Chair which starts at 199.

Not sure why they only used the word Ergo instead of Ergonomic.

I just assume it is copyright issue etc..

But I went to the store to try it out and I was satisfied with the support to lower back.

As you lean back, the chair stretches your lower back in a comforting manner.

You do feel that you are slipping forward but it is strengthen your posture.

I also notice that you cannot cross your legs which the cause of bad posture.

At the time of my visit, they were also having a 20% discount at well.

If you have back problem and sits on your chair for long period of time.

It is worth having a look.

Another great quote that comes to mind is by Ralph Waldo Emerson, who said, "What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us." Linjian's journey to this point has been long and challenging, but he has always shown that he has what it takes to succeed. His strength, d...
