Oliver Kelly
Background
Oliver Kelly had been suffering from repeated back pain for the last 10-12 years. The affliction had always been in his lower spine and varied from stiffness and discomfort through to reasonably severe pain. On two occasions, he had suffered from brief bouts of sciatica.

Oliver Kelly then bought the Corrigo chair personally, which was fitted at his workplace.
