Did you know that standing for just 15 minutes per hour provides great health
benefits?
Sit-Stand Adjustable office desks are becoming more and more
popular throughout the workplace due to their advantages and benefits. The
advantages of an adjustable standing desk are likely to be noticed immediately;
the height of these active office desks can be varied allowing the user to
switch from sitting to standing with ease.
Ergonomists recommend we stand
for 20% of our working day. There are many physical and mental advantages to
working at a sit stand desk as opposed to a fixed height desk.
Why adjust your desk height whilst sitting?
According to office
ergonomics specialists it’s unnatural to sit in the same position for more than
a few hours at a time. So, it is understandable that 7-8 hours of continuous
screen work will put a strain on the body. It can even result in long-term
health problems!
An adjustable desk provides the perfect solution. Each
of our adjustable desks can be altered in height to suit your best seating
posture, helping protect your spine and reduce the risk of aching. Many office
desks are rigid, which can have an adverse effect on your posture when you sit
at your desk all day long. Our range of adjustable desks enable you to set your
table top at the exact height that works for you; offering maximum comfort and
flexibility. Providing your staff with adjustable desks also ensures that their
health and well-being is taken care of in the workplace.
Choosing the
correct office desk that allows good posture is essential for good workstation
ergonomics and avoiding painful computer injury. Movement helps promote
circulation and relieve stress on your back and muscles. The height adjustable
desks solve the problem for taller people, people with back pain, multi-users
and is also suitable for wheelchair users and those with disabilities. Sit-Stand
Height Adjustable Desks help reduce and prevent back problems. Alternating
between sitting and standing positions at the user’s ease makes work more
comfortable and improves both health and productivity.

WHY WE SHOULD ALL USE A HEIGHT ADJUSTABLE DESK?
Preventing & reducing MUSCLE PROBLEMS If you stay seated all day, your leg muscles and gluteus muscles will become inactive, thus reducing your ability to sit up straight. Alternating between sitting and standing positions is critical for us to keep our bodies healthy and prevent illness |

Preventing &
reducing POOR CIRCULATION Remaining seated for too long may result in swollen ankles and varicose veins, caused by fluids sinking down into the legs. Regular movement adjusts the amount of load being put on the body, increases specific body part rest intervals, and thus reduces the adverse effect of risk factors. | |||
Increased BRAIN ACTIVITY
If you stay fixed in one position, insufficient fresh, oxygen-rich blood will be pumped around the body, causing brain function to slow down. Employees who alternate between a sitting and standing positions will have more energy, experience reduced fatigue levels, and reduce their risk of injury caused by working in one body position too long. |

Preventing & reducing HEART
RISKS Since muscles are less active while a person is seated, they burn less fat. Together with a higher blood pressure and elevated cholesterol levels, this increases the risk of heart disease. |

Preventing & reducing BACK
PROBLEMS Staying seated for long periods causes weight pressure to be unevenly distributed over the spine, leading to spinal problems in the lower back. Standing just 15 min per hour provides great health benefits. |
