        I've worked as a trader for a number of years, so sit at a desk for 10 hours a day. My posture was gradually getting worse and worse, resulting in back problems. I bought a standing desk and I love it. My back is 100% better, and it even helped lose a few pounds

        Do you have a standing desk? I do and it’s actually a lifesaver for my back. Rather than sit there thinking about how uncomfortable I am I can stand and get shit done!

        Only for those who can stand! We have at work. People rarely use them for many reasons. I can’t as I can’t stand for long periods of time.

        Varicose veins anyone? The NHS say one of the causes of varicose can be ‘having a job that involves long periods of standing’.

        They assessed 146 people and the word “may” is in the results. That’s all we need to know.

        I work walking and standing, don't earn too much but - compared to all the “sitters“ around me - never had any back or neck pain...they earn more but...at what cost?
