Everything will be a repeat. My body has done nothing but thank me. I have tilted the machine and used the office adjustable chair for years but still had problems. Then I started 50 minutes sewing and minimum 10 minute break. This break is to stretch, drink a glass of water, potty break, etc. If I am sewing for several hours I will add about a 15 minute walk at least once. For machine quilting wearing gloves to move the fabric is well worth the one time expense. The shoulder desk stretches whenever I think of them help me tremendously. The breaks make me far more productive as I am not fixing the body but preventing the problems from happening.
