Up and Down Desks Melbourne

Up and down desks are ergonomically designed to move up and down, and to allow users to work in a range of different positions, between sitting and standing. Abbotts Office Furniture in Melbourne stocks a wide selection of up and down desks for different budgets and can help you select the best option for your needs.

Research has shown that sitting for long periods can cause pain and long term health issues. Desks that provide options to work in a range of positions and alternate between sitting and standing have been found to improve many of these problems associated with sitting.

There are a range of different types of desks that allow sitting or standing. Some can be adjusted manually. Others are electric. Abbotts Office Furniture stock electric sit stand desks, and manual sit stand desks.

The benefits of a desk that moves up and down

While sit stand desks are not a cure-all and not a replacement for a lack of movement in general, they have been found to significantly improve pain and productivity levels in people with existing issues.

Compared with sitting, standing reduces the amount of pressure placed on the spine, so it makes sense that a reduction in sitting can bring an improvement in pain, and increased productivity.

Even for people who do not have existing pain, reducing the total time spent sitting each day, by using an up and down desk, can help prevent future injuries. Sit and stand desks can be beneficial for:

• those with existing lower back pain associated with sitting for long periods
• those with poor sitting posture
• preventing musculoskeletal problems (associated with prolonged sitting) by decreasing overall sitting time and encouraging a combination of sitting and standing
