Checking the news recently, I found a novelty item – the standing desk. It is said to be the latest fashion popular in many companies, and since its inception, it has been enthusiastically sought after by the majority of white-collar workers. So what makes the standing desk so popular? According to the majority of its supporters, it is ergonomic principles, to relieve a series of neck, shoulder and back pain caused by long-term poor sitting posture and other symptoms. So, is this really the case? In fact, according to some long-term use of standing desks, although the neck and shoulder pain to a certain degree of improvement, but then did produce new symptoms, such as the following back, lumbar pain, stiffness of the calf muscles, lack of concentration, etc.. According to a research report, long-term standing office will make people’s thinking ability and body are affected. First of all, neck and shoulder muscle pain is caused by maintaining the same posture or poor posture for a long time, and standing office does change this situation to some extent, but then it makes us maintain another action for a long time, that is, the standing position. And because of the long hours involved in maintaining the standing position of the muscles, over time, it will cause fatigue, and even static injury. Therefore, the standing desk just transfer the corresponding symptoms of our upper body to the lower body only. Second, because of the long-term standing position, resulting in the increased burden on the waist and lower limbs, and affect the local blood circulation, making us appear lumbar acid, varicose veins in the lower limbs and other symptoms, and for some people who suffer from lumbar diseases (such as spinal stenosis, vertebral slippage), the corresponding symptoms will aggravate, and even lead to the onset of lumbar disorders. In addition, because it is the office state, so people rarely maintain the standard posture of chest up, head up, abdomen, buttocks, often maintain the forward or twisting action, in this way, the advantages of standing office is not obvious. Tips, whether we take the traditional sitting office or the fashionable standing office, the ultimate goal is to try to maintain health, so that we just need to change the position from time to time, or appropriate rest exercise, can be done.
