Reduces Back Pain
Sitting for long periods can cause various health problems, like back pain. To counteract this issue, people are switching to standing desks, and the health benefits of this arrangement are well-documented.
The muscles in your neck and back need to contract much less to stand than they do to sit, which means you expend less energy standing than sitting. As a result, you have more energy to do other things throughout the day. The reduced work by your muscles also reduces stress on your joints and spine, decreasing tension and preventing strain and stiffness that may lead to back pain or muscle spasms.
You can also take frequent breaks from standing while still working at your desk, which further decreases stress on your body and increases circulation and blood flow compared to the constant sitting.
Your body’s natural reaction is to tense up when you’re under pressure or stressed out about something, so using a standing desk allows you to work without that added stress for a better overall experience at work.
