Better Health At Work: How A Standing Desk Can Help

Constant tension and the often accompanying desire for a professional massage are by no means uncommon after a long day of work at the office desk in front of the PC.

The specially chosen “potato sack position” is often the cause in this context and is only consciously noticed in the rarest of cases. Standing desks enjoy a great popularity in this area and show a real added value under consideration of numerous influencing factors.

The office chair is to blame!

Sitting in front of a monitor for long periods of time and the resulting complaints in our musculoskeletal system are generally referred to as “office diseases”. The physical impairments usually manifest themselves in the form of mild back pain, quickly tiring legs and other indentations that make one’s daily routine seem unnecessarily difficult.

A central role plays at this point the office chair, which makes a rigid attitude in bent form possible for us only. Ultimately, this results in tension and muscle and back pain, which significantly impair our own performance. Possible illnesses of our cardiovascular system cannot be excluded against this background.

Working while standing and doing something good for the body

Until a few years ago, the so-called standing desk was considered an invention of the hipster scene. A real added value for the productivity of the workforce was simply not recognized.

The same applied to maintaining the health of employees, who, against this background, compulsively and equally disciplinedly devoted themselves to their work on their office chair in an infinite number of incorrect positions.

Meanwhile numerous studies contribute to the fact that standing desk in enterprises enjoy a high value. For example, working while standing is said to lower blood sugar in the body and also improve the oxygen supply in the body.

Variety promotes health at work

Alternating between sitting and standing relieves strain on both the neck and back. In addition, studies have found that it increases thinking performance and ultimately has a positive effect on work. In addition, working while standing helps to reduce stress and cope with cognitive tasks more confidently.

So, the standing desk seems to be a real problem solver for a variety of different ailments that plague both employers and employees.

Incorporating variety into the workday

The combination of sitting and standing work seems to be the best choice in light of current research. How long each phase should last is currently the focus of scientific debate and cannot be definitively answered at present.

For example, anyone who decides to work for two hours in an alternating rhythm of both standing and sitting can set up a good system and notice a physical change for themselves after only a short time. Instead of using the elevator, it is of course advisable to take the stairs and in this way provide additional movement.

What to consider when working at a standing desk

Those who already own a height-adjustable desk should follow some important basic rules when using the same. For example, it is important to stand up straight at the standing desk and avoid the formation of a hunched back.

The shoulders must be kept loose. Pulling them upward causes tension in the neck in the long run. Lovers of high heels should consider their choice of shoes when working in a standing position. The footwear does not provide any stability and leads to significant back problems.

Sneakers or ballerinas are much more suitable here. Working while standing also allows you to take a few steps to the left and right now and then. This shifts the weight from one leg to the other in a healthy way and also prevents any monotonous strain.
