Yeah, it is helpful. But no magic there, you have to build up to it and build good patterns and posture before or along the way. Too much too soon applies here too. Desk bound by Kelly Starret is a great introduction to the whys and how tos of standing desks - although I prefer Original Strength stuff (as movement snacks and self care) to Kelly's exercise recommendations.Got back to work after holidays and I'm feeling like sh*t got back and neck pain everyday and I tried everything about ergonomics, rising screens, better positions etc etc
Do any of you had similar issues and tried this "Standing desks" thing?
ordered a stand to fix to my desk in order to elevate both monitor and keyboard, will try it as it is relatively cheap (60usd) will keep the laptop on the normal desk so I will be doing some chores on the laptop while sitting and some other just standing with monitor and keyboard.
We will see if this leads to improvements.
@Pantrolyx could you please explain back briding and neck briding (i'm not english and don't realy know what briding means, building?) Anyway I'll keep doing my exercises as soon as the pain fades away.
I use a Fluidstance Level to prevent poor posture while standing - also takes some time to get used to.

Very interesting that article about the resting positions, dont plan to include that "fluidstance" for now, will just try to keep standing the whole day or as much as possible.
Regarding the bridge @Pantrolyx mention...I will try to do it..but if I have to be sincere I believe that's a quite impossible position for me, will try to check out where to begin and start practicing it.
