Get Britain Standing

Many experts suggest that rather than sitting down to do your work, you should stand up so you can avoid the dangers and problems caused by conventional sitting positions. When you’re standing, the pelvis is in a neutral position, and your postural muscles help to keep the spine in a natural healthy “S” shape.

Of course, standing to work is not an option for most of us...

...what’s more, it has long been known that standing all day is not only more tiring, but it dramatically increases the risk of carotid atherosclerosis (by a factor of nine to be precise). That’s because of the additional load that’s put on the circulatory system. It also increases the risk of varicose veins. Clearly, standing is not the solution to the problem.

So, what is? Well, there is a solution - The Bambach Saddle Seat from TheSitStand.co.uk. It’s a solution that replicates all the advantages of standing, and puts the spine in its natural ‘S’ shape, without actually making you stand. It’s a seat that’s specially designed to work with, not against, the musculoskeletal system and keep your upper body in a balanced position. Put simply, it stops your body from slumping while you’re sitting. And it’s available for you to try for free!

Contrary to some popular advice - standing to work dramatically increases the risk of carotid atherosclerosis, because of the additional load that’s put on the circulatory system. It also increases the risk of varicose veins. Clearly, standing is not the solution to the problem.
