Default Body position for hand quilting?

Yesterday I put a lot of hours into hand quilting and today I am miserable with pain. Other than a very sore index finger on my left hand that now feels like a pin cushion, most of my pain is located in the center of my back and surprisingly my ankles and feet. I had the quilt on a desktop with me sitting in an office chair.

The day before I quilted in my overstuffed chair with my feet on a stool and woke with shoulder pain which is why I moved to the desk top hoping to eliminate that pain. So now I've struck out twice. Which is the best position for your body while hand quilting?

I can sit in my overstuffed chair with the footstool and cross stitch for hours with little to no pain so it's baffling to me why sewing on a quilt does. I don't want my memory of working on my grandbaby's quilt to be one of pain, you know what I mean.
