Back pain/Standing Desk

My ex wife switched to a standing desk and we ended up getting divorced. Not sure that's really the improvement you mean, though.

Lift and strengthen your back as much as you can without pain and get up for a quick walk every time you start to feel some pain from sitting in a chair for too long.

Standing desk just made my feet ache so I ditched it. If I'm gonna procrastinate at work, I'd rather be comfortable doing it

My coworker is using it and swears by it, though he only uses it in the afternoons.

The only advantage I've found with it is it makes it more likely I'll walk around, and not just sit there when I have a lull in activity.

For a while I've used an ad hoc standing desks, like used a few books to lift the keyboard. Those iMacs were pretty high though.

Improvement? Not too much.

yes. and yes

I use one elevates and I have a standing chair which means I can lean on it if I need to and sit if I ever want to sit. Its basically a stool on stilts.

I had back pain, turns out it was caused by :

a) My back being too weak in general (More swimming, rowing, stopped trampoline)

b) Being mainly right handed, my right side was the only barely muscled side. When sitting in a chair the right side would get stiff and bend my back like an accordion

One chiropractor session (Damn he cracked my soul off) and ~ 4 months of better management/stress control and I have no more pain
