Body Built Chair - wendy

Posted: Feb 24, 2010

I wanted to share my chair info with every MT. I recently read about the Body Built Chair and decided to check it out. I did finally purchase the chair after much hesitation because it cost so much. I love the chair so much! I am so pleased I purchased it. They do have a 30 day return policy. I was having pain and discomfort in my lower back, my legs, my butt, every where it seems after years of transcribing. I have purchased several chairs. This chair has truly helped tremendously. I cannot believe the difference it has made for me. Here is the website to check it out if you are interested in having an AWESOME chair.

I thought of buying one of these (or other ergo chairs like Steelcase) - Kiki

If this were a more stable profession and I thought I'd be an MT forever I'd probably buy one. But I just can't justify the $1000 price tag. My fear is that I'd buy one and then get laid off due to not enough work then not be able to find another job.

Ya, then I'd just be sitting there in my $1000-chair doing....

I just take the standard deduction....

But thanks. If I ever become an IC that is good to know!

I try to always have everything ergonomically right and have a good chair, but I have degenerative disc disease at multiple levels, and I would much rather spend money on a really good chair to help with posture, etc., than to spend money on pills and more pills. Thanx again!

I have a degenerative spine, all levels.... and it is not fun. The chair has really helped me tolerate sitting so much. Of course, with degenerative spine, up for at least 5 minutes every hour is really the best.

Thanks so much, Wendy, gotta keep fightin'! God bless!...nm - Cyndiee

I'm looking for a good transcription chair. When we started working from home I asked to take my chair and told I could not. I even offered to buy it from them but still could not get it. I want one that adjusts in height and has arms that move in or out as well as up and down. The chair at the hospital was over a $400.00 chair and it was so comfortable. If anyone knows of a good place to purchase one of these over the internet please let me know. &nbs ...

Can anybody recommend a good chair? I am petite, 5 feet 6 inches but small and need cushioning.

Does anyone have some suggestions for a good quality office chair, an ergonomic model in particular which focuses on support for the lower back? I've been able to get away with relatively cheap ones for over a decade, but after a back injury last year, the cheap ones are killing me. I've tried back rests and cushions with no relief. I've looked at some floor models in supply stores and online reviews, but can't tell which one would make a difference. I'd apprecia ...

I'm trying to use just my balance ball right now. I have some low back problems and find that my posture is horrendous with sitting in a normal office chair; however, just the balance ball alone seems to be a little too low. Overall, it feels more comfortable on my rear end than my normal office chair and I'm definitely sitting up straighter, but wondered if anyone else out there had any experiences, good or bad, with using a balance ball or the balance ball chair setup.&nb ...

My computer chair tore up, so I needed to get a new one. I tried some out at the store and got a cushy one. After I put it together and sat in it for 30 minutes, I had severe pain. It felt like my whole body went numb and tingly. So I had to take it back. I got a second chair and can tell it's not going to be comfortable and that I will need to take it back. I'm sick, tired, and frustrated about this. Not at the stores or the people that work there, because it's not their fault ( ...
