HÅG Capisco review
The reviewer purchased the HÅG Capisco specifically because they have chronic lower back pain and their physical therapist recommended active sitting. After six months of use, they've noticed a significant improvement in their back pain during work hours. The chair forces them to engage their core muscles and shift positions regularly, which has been therapeutic for their condition. They sit in different ways throughout the day - sometimes straddling it, sometimes perched high, sometimes sideways - and this variety has been key to reducing their pain. While there was an adjustment period of about two weeks where they felt muscle soreness as their body adapted to the more active sitting style, they now can't imagine going back to a traditional chair.
