You can get special cushions, foot rests and lumbars rolls and special computer equipment to help with postural and other problems.

You should also make sure that your workstation is set up properly eg screen at the correct height and keyboard in the right position.

Could it be that sitting so much is aggravating the condition?

Have you tried seeing an osteopath who may be able to help in additional ways to physio?

Ask such professionals if there is anything they can suggest such as home exercises or activities such as swimming or yoga or pilates which may help the condition generally?

Also ask them about what you do and how to help eg moving regularly.

Losing an excess weight may help and not putting too much pressure on the problem areas eg tight clothing, belts etc...
