Standing Desks: Do They Really Help Your Back?

Standing desks have become a trending solution for better posture and fewer back problems. The one question everyone wonders is if this trend actually helps your back. Here’s how standing desks really help your back:

  • Movement: Standing desks allow you the opportunity to switch between sitting and standing which gives your body the opportunity to move and keep your muscles activated. 
  • Desk Setup Matters: With a standing desk you should keep your screen at eye level, keep your elbows at 90 degrees, and keep your feet flat on the floor. 
  • Having a Strong Core: Having a strong core makes it easier on your back to switch between sitting and standing while working.
