I’ve been a bit hesitant about using a “stand-up desk” but for the last two months I’ve had more back problems than I’m used to. For some reason the two main muscles (those on either side of the spine, don’t know their name in English) have been very sore, sometimes making it difficult for me to put on my socks in the morning (kind of embarrassing), not to mention training ju-jutsu.
Anway, yesterday I got a “stand-up table” to try out for a few weeks
The initial experience, after 24 hours, is very positive. The pain in my back wasn’t nearly as bad as usual yesterday evening and it was much easier to move around this morning. I’m kind of amazed that the change happened so fast and that the change was so noticeable. I have no idea how this will work out in the long run but so far I’m very happy with the new desk.
A side effect that I hadn’t expected at all is that I become warm when I’m standing up, apparently it’s much more work for the body to stand up … I can of course understand that but I hadn’t expected that I would notice it.
