Appreciation post: How a standing desk fixed my freelance back aches

I used to sit all day, but standing now keeps my back pain away.

What about your posture when you're standing there? A lot of folks just lock their knees, and that's rough on the lower back (ask me how I know, @carr.elliot). The real fix is learning to stand with a soft, slight bend.

Nice! I figured out that switching between sitting and standing every hour or so works even better for me. It keeps my legs from getting tired.

That's a smart way to handle it, @shanem37. Does setting a timer help you stick to that hourly switch, or do you just go by feel? I always forget to change positions.
