So, why invest in this type of desk for your home office or commercial space?

Standing often during the working day is good for us for several reasons. Firstly, it can improve our posture, because it engages our core muscles and helps to align our spine properly. Maintaining a good posture not only makes us look better (we appear leaner, thinner and even more confident), but it also benefits us in other ways.

Did you know that a poor posture strains the muscles and ligaments?

This can not only cause discomfort; it can potentially lead to chronic pain in the back, neck, shoulders, or hips. A decent posture helps distribute the force of gravity more evenly through your body, reducing the risk of overuse injuries.

The alignment of your spine matters because it minimises wear and tear, reducing the risk of conditions like kyphosis, lordosis or scoliosis.

Standing during the day will also improve your breathing. 

Slouching compresses the chest cavity and restricts our lung capacity, so it’s harder to breathe deeply. When you use one of our standing desks, your lungs will regularly expand fully, leading to better respiratory function. When we breathe in a healthy way, it can positively impact our mental health, often reducing feelings of anxiety and low mood.

Do you often feel like office snacks are taking their toll? The way you’re sitting might not be helping. A decent posture ensures your internal organs are in the right position and not being compression. This aids digestion and mitigates the risk of problems like acid reflux or constipation.

Research has actually discovered an upright posture positively affects our mood. 

Good posture can make you appear taller, more confident, and more assertive, which can influence both your own perceptions and how others perceive you.

Proper alignment reduces the strain on muscles, allowing them to work more efficiently. This can help prevent fatigue and improve overall energy levels throughout the day.

In essence, a decent posture helps to maintain our physical health, preventing pain and injury. It also helps us to project confidence and vitality in both personal and professional setting

A standing desk can reduce the risk of weight gain. 

Many of us find it hard to stay active when working at a desk job. From a bad back to eye strain and headaches, these can all be a corollary of not moving about enough.

Standing burns more calories than sitting, so it can help stop us gaining those pounds. When combined with other positive lifestyle changes, it can make a significant difference.

Did you know sanding after meals helps to regulate our blood sugar levels? This is especially beneficial for individuals with diabetes or insulin resistance.

Prolonged sitting has been associated with an increased risk of heart disease, whereas standing and moving throughout the day can help improve cardiovascular health by increasing circulation and reducing the strain on your heart.

With our standing desks, you’re likely to feel more alert and productive.  

Feeling tired is a common problem during the working day. Standing and exercising throughout the day can help prevent fatigue and improve our mood by increasing blood flow and releasing endorphins. These are the chemicals in the brain that promote feelings of well-being.

Many studies have found that alternating between sitting and standing throughout the workday improves our focus, concentration, and levels of productivity.

Prolonged sitting can contribute to muscle stiffness and tightness, as well as back and neck pain. Standing and moving throughout the day can help alleviate these issues by promoting better circulation and reducing the strain on your muscles and joints.

With our desks, you can easily incorporate more standing into your daily routine.

As we’ve explored, it can have numerous benefits for your physical and mental health. However, it’s essential to find a balance between standing and sitting, as excessive standing without breaks can also lead to fatigue and discomfort.

Incorporating regular movement breaks and alternating between sitting and standing throughout the day is recommended for optimal health and well-being.
