Many of you have asked about switching to standing desks as an alternative to being seated for >8 hrs a day. My response has been that standing desks as a complete substitute, generate their own problems. My recommendation is to take regular postural breaks (every 30 mins) and change the position you’re in. Mix it up if you can - moving from seated to standing.
Feel free to speak to me about the best option for you. In the meantime, take a look at the latest research: (ps, Happy Friday 😍)

STANDING DESKS NOT THE ANSWER TO LBP, SAYS STUDY. Height adjustable office desks now present the opportunity to replace sitting with standing in the workplace. A newly published systematic review sought to determine if objectively measured prolonged exposures to desk work while standing, compared to sitting, results in lower perceived LBP in healthy adults.

The outcome of the review following a search of several databases indicated that objectively measured prolonged standing postures during desk work did not induce significantly less perceived LBP compared to seated postures. It appears that replacing seated desk work postures with standing for prolonged periods of time would not be recommended.

Larger studies, including a wider age range and health history, conducted in the field with objective measures are recommended by the authors to obtain more generalisable data on which to base ergonomic standards for work postures.
