Reduces Wrist Pain
A standing desk is designed to be used while standing rather than sitting. This has been shown to reduce the discomfort experienced in wrists. However, the average human body is not designed for long periods spent sitting upright. Our bodies adapt to this by forming new pain patterns, essentially muscle imbalances.
One of the best ways to address these imbalances is by using a standing desk. Standing desks are easily adjustable to create your ideal workstation in height and angle. Adjusting your workstation’s height and angle on an ongoing basis ensures that you’re always working with your body in its most comfortable position, regardless of what kind of work you’re doing or how long you’ve been doing it.
Opinions differ on whether there are other benefits besides wrist pain reduction to working at a standing desk. For example, some say that changing your posture throughout the day from sitting to standing and back again makes you less likely to suffer from wrist muscle fatigue and aches.
