It started subtly for me—just a few odd specks dancing across my vision after a long day in front of the computer. I figured it was just eye strain or maybe dust. But over time, these tiny drifting shapes became more noticeable, especially after binge-watching a new series or spending hours designing under harsh lighting….
It starts off harmless, right? You kick back on your favorite couch after a long day—remote in one hand, phone in the other, maybe a snack within reach. Next thing you know, it’s been hours. You haven’t moved, your spine is slouched into what can only be described as a shrimp-like pose, and you’re wondering…
Ever found yourself shifting endlessly in your seat, trying to find that sweet spot that doesn’t make your tailbone feel like it’s taking a beating? Yeah, me too.
