BackCare recommends pretty much everything you can think of - stretching, swimming, walking, yoga, Alexander Technique, tai chi, exercise bicycles with upright handlebars . . . Anything to get you limbered up and out of that slumped, static posture of the nine to five. There is so much back pain in this country that there simply aren't enough chiropractors, osteopaths and physiotherapists to go round. Staples, the office superstore, with branches nationwide, stocks a range of office chairs. Call Staples Direct on 0800 141414.
Office furniture can be an expensive affair.
