Active sitting is better than non-active sitting, but restful, supportive sitting takes a load off of the back and helps the muscles relax. I would suggest only sitting on the ball for a half hour every 2 hours while at work. Use a good, ergonomic chair the rest of the time. And make sure to get up and stretch at least 15 minutes every hour. The information you sited about spinal compression is true, but it is true for sitting in general, not just sitting on a ball. We are not designed to sit. But we are designed to think so there is always a solution.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;"> </td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/1262267C-0ABB-4A71-BE38-E97DB1BF4BA8/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
