Is a standing desk the answer?

Many people think that sitting all day can be counteracted by standing all day. After all sitting is deemed the new smoking so it seems like a good idea. Right?

At Spirohealth we think this is mostly incorrect and the research by Vernikos 2005 states:

it’s actually the change in posture that is the most powerful in terms of having a beneficial impact on your health, not the act of standing in and of itself

Check out one of our assistants, Bria Francis, in this short video talking about standing desks.

A moving desk would help where you are sitting and standing through out the day.

Many people also think that their posture cannot be changed. It’s genetic, it’s because I sit all day, it’s from an accident I had and so on.

At Spirohealth we know this is incorrect and we know we can change your posture from the first visit. Sounds like a bold statement but it’s the truth and we are happy to put our money where our mouth is and get you in for a free check up to see if we can help you. Book in here
