AlphaGrip not only saves my wrists, but also my back

Just thought I'd share this:

Thanks a lot for this great device! It's been invaluable for me to be
able to continue working both with my wrist problems and my back
problems. I hope that there will be a wireless bluetooth version in
the future, that would really be amazing.

Take care,

Geert

Wow! Thanks for posting this. Are you able to work as fast as if you
were sitting or reclining in a chair? Once you've recovered, what
position do you think you'll choose?

(I have a stand-up desk myself, which I think is far better for the
back than sitting in a chair.)

Hi Ted,

I'm working a bit slower, mostly because my hands are tilted backwards
in stead of forwards as when your arms are resting on your lap or on
the desk. I think I will alternate positions afterwards during the
same day, standing - sitting - lying down. I quite like working on my
back, but it's not very practical to drink and such. Also, it's weird
lying on your back without moving for a whole day. One's body isn't
really used to that position. I have the impression that my digestive
system is for instance working much slower.

Take care,

Geert
