- Start 20/8/2: sit 20 min → stand 8 → move 2. Repeat, then extend standing as tolerance improves.
- Neutral elbows: Desk height where elbows ~90°, shoulders down.
- Feet & floor: Use an anti-fatigue mat; shift weight; keep shoes supportive.
- Screen: Raise the monitor again when you stand—the eye-line rule still applies.
- Cables: Add a cable spine + grommets so height changes stay tidy.
Common mistakes
- Standing all day (fatigue + back pain)
- Perching on one leg (hip strain)
- Ignoring keyboard/mouse elevation
OUSHAK tip: Our sit–stand desks add soft start/stop motors and memory presets for frictionless switching.
