Stanford University Study
We know you work hard and have deadlines to hit. But this shouldn’t affect your health. Did you know that a sit-stand workstation can increase your overall productivity, focus and back health and reduce back pain? Here are the facts from a Stanford University Study.
Remaining in a static position
for a prolonged period of time, such as sitting all day, may not be conducive to a healthy back.
Low back pain is the most common cause of job-related disability; associated estimated healthcare, lost income, and productivity costs are in excess of
$85 billion.
