As the senior writer for HomeFixated, it seems I spend almost as much time staring blankly at the computer screen as I do testing the latest cool tools. It’s a necessary evil, but sitting at a desk, or the kitchen table, for hours on end isn’t great for the posture, and I frequently end up with a stiff neck.

Recently, the priority got bumped up several notches, when I trashed my right knee, making it an excruciating experience to sit down and stand back up.
