Sitting – Standing – Moving: Why Height Adjustable Desks Are Good For Your Office
KEEP MOVING WHILE WORKING
Office bound workers are prone to problems with posture, worse case scenarios can lead to time off work through aches and pains and injuries. Whilst it has long been recognised that chairs that provide posture support are a good idea it is now apparent that actually moving and changing position during the working day has many beneficial effects, not least increased productivity!
SITTING ALL DAY
If you sit all day, even in a good posture, your overall health goes into decline.
STANDING UP AT WORK
When standing, pressure on the lower back is much less than when sitting unsupported. However standing uses more energy than sitting and so your body tires more quickly.
SITTING AND STANDING AT THE SAME DESK
Alternating between sitting and standing positions helps us to keep healthy and prevent illness.
HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE DESKS
Height Adjustable Desks provide a solution where increased office space is not necessary. Adjustable height desks allow the user to select a working position that is ideal for them at any given time.
Research show that workers who alternate between a sitting and standing positions have increased energy levels and reduced risk of injury caused by working in position for too long. Instead of needing to change position by taking breaks from work they can simply adjust their working environment to suit their needs.
