The power of standing in your work day.
Have you tried to add more standing in your day?
Standing in your day is a fantastic way of working postural muscles and increasing blood flow, which may help in preventing certain types of muscle and joint pain. You can achieve this by standing each hour, taking a short walk, or trying out a standing work desk. We don’t advocate standing all day which can over-challenge hips and knees, so start with an hour after lunch as a good rule of thumb.
If you choose to stand at work, you’ll be in good company. Leonardo da Vinci, Benjamin Franklin, and Thomas Jefferson were said to have used stand-up desks!
Please get in touch with any questions regarding stand-up desks or pain and injury when sitting at work.
