Is it okay to have someone walk on my back to relieve back pain?
Sometimes I have my little brother (70lbs) walk on my (150 lbs) back. Is this safe? It feels good. I asked my phys. therapist if it was okay and she said she's never heard of people doing that before and that if it takes the pain away it should be okay. I have scoliosis, that's why i go to physical therapy. If it's not okay, than why do they have little chinese chicks walking on people's backs at massage parlors?

What is the best low-cost ergonomic office chair for lower back pain?
I have serious lower back pain with two dehyrdrated discs in the lumbar. I also have an office job. Sitting is absolutely killing me. I'm in physical therapy, but I'm hoping an ergonomic chair might help some too. Unfortunately I need to buy my own chair, and I can't really pop for an Aeron. We just have your typical swivel, up/down task chairs. Does anyone have a suggestion for a sub-500(400 would be even better) ergo task chair?
