The Embody gaming chair has cured my body pain!

No, it's a religion...

You may think so, but please wait a moment.
Before switching to this chair, I was using a strange desk chair that I bought about 10 years ago for about 5000 yen, but with the recent coronavirus pandemic, I have been working more from home.
And guess what? I had shoulder pain, back pain, and a general feeling of fatigue.
My body was screaming in agony (battle fever).
Hmmm, it's the chair!Based on this speculation, I decided to get a gaming chair and purchased the Embody Gaming Chair.
After using it for a few months, the pain in my body definitely disappeared.
It is likely that the proper positioning of the backrest and armrests reduced strain on the body (if it wasn't a placebo effect).
When it comes to backrests, people have different preferences, but when choosing a chair, I think it's definitely better to choose one with adjustable armrest heights, as shoulder stiffness really makes a difference.
