The sit-stand solution
"I could never work sitting again. I no longer need a physical therapist while before I always had back pain," says Delphine from Evry, 38, who started selling this type of desk in Leers (Nord) and mainly equips start-ups and SMEs."

"The longer the daily sitting time, the shorter the life expectancy. The business world is most affected because it is where people sit the longest"
Prof. François Carré, co-founder of the Observatory of Sedentary Lifestyle in France
"One of the most cited studies was published in the Archives of Internal Medicine. It reports a 15% increased risk of premature death for the average sedentary (eight hours per day) and 40% for the most static (eleven hours) compared to those sitting less than four hours, even if they engage in physical activity otherwise."

"In Germany, where it has existed for about ten years, growth is double-digit; in the United States and Japan, it is exponential," adds Mr. Bodet who says he "equipped 500,000 desks worldwide last year."

- Increased productivity.
- Strengthen your back to prevent back problems later.
- Ideal desk for considering working from home or teleworking.
Tips:
- The height of a sit-stand desk is easily adjustable for any user. What is the ideal height for a standing desk? At your navel level!
- Alternating between sitting and standing every 20 minutes helps prevent many problems.
- Practical rule: all items used by people working standing should be positioned between hip and shoulder height to avoid bending the torso forward or adopting a posture forcing the worker to place arms above shoulder level. Items should be placed facing the shoulder line to minimize arm and/or torso rotation.
- The work surface is generally at elbow height, though this depends greatly on the task to be performed.
- For precision work: the work surface is raised to reduce visual distance and allow resting forearms on the table for support.
- For heavy work: the work surface is positioned lower to allow greater vertical force exertion.
