Benefits of Stand Up Desk

Not Just a Chiropractor for Stamford, Darien, Norwalk and New Canaan

Why is standing better than sitting at a desk all day?

Chiropractors see a wide range of spinal problems, and a lot of them have to do with poor posture and prolonged sitting or slouching. Too much lumbar pressure from constant sitting can lead to back pain. Also, extended sitting means your abdominal and hamstring muscles are contracted for hours at a time. This could lead to a weakened core and less flexibility, putting you at higher risk of potential injury and pain. But how do you combat these side effects of sitting when you have so much work to do?

If you ask your chiropractor, they may tell you to take standing and stretching breaks throughout the day, because this allows your muscles to relax. Standing also burns more calories than sitting which in turn helps you combat weight gain. Plus, each time you stand you can actively correct your posture and remind yourself to avoid the temptation to slouch when you sit back down at your desk.

Standing at work, whether it's getting out and going for a quick walk around the office or using a standing desk instead of a traditional one, can increase muscle movement and give your physical health a boost.
