Are stand-up desks actually going to help you increase productivity?

There is some evidence that using standing desks can help office workers become more productive. But it's important to understand that many factors are at play when it comes to productivity.

The number of hours you spend seated is also a major factor, as it can be associated with health issues. Sitting for long periods can cause aches and pains, back discomfort and other problems.

Studies have shown that sit-stand desks may help ease these aches and pains, especially for people who spend a lot of time sitting. But while they can help reduce back and neck pain, they are not a cure-all for these problems.

Having good posture at work is also crucial. Having poor posture can contribute to musculoskeletal problems, such as muscle and skeletal disorders, vein issues and more.
