I'm Mark, one of the founders. Years ago I fractured a vertebra (L2) in a bike accident and afterward couldn't sit as long without pain. I went through a range of "ergonomic" chair…

We are working on this and did a related study which included a group of participants more sensitive than average to standing and sure enough- more frequent posture changes from st…

This study showed alternating sit-stand more often completely prevented pain during an extended work period in 100% of participants, compared to standing and a high end ergonomic c…

Working on this to incorporate regular movement into focused work: https://www.movably.com/ .

Have not seen any scientific backing for this Cornell recommendation 20m sit duration. Most relevant study I have found is that sitting harm (average sedentary bout lenght & all ca…

We have been working on a better solution to this the last few years and have a good answer if extended desk work focus is integral to your work. The fundamental conflict is one of…

Other companies have been doing this for a while now, not sure if this is that new https://www.linevisioninc.com/

Finally launched our crowdfunding campaign for everyone who wishes great desk work jobs didn't come at the expense of the harm of sitting for extended periods. (here: https://www.i…

Here is a large study, https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/28892811/ My guess is today's recommendations to move every 30m/45m or so were a compromise between ergonomists and employers…

We are just launching something related. Basically the harm from static sitting actually begins at around 10-12 minutes and builds from there. The more often you can interrupt it b…

Yep, for deskwork. We shouldn’t sit for extended periods of time, but moving is usually too interrupting. We pair with a standing height desk and make it trivially easy to change p…

Right, both exercise and sitting bout length independently are important. You just can't completely exercise away the impact of sitting alone.

Reducing average sitting bout length has as big an impact as exercise. https://www.nature.com/articles/s41569-021-00547-y

Thank you so much, working on this issue, but didn't expect a reference this far back! If curious, on the latest in sitting, standing, perching, alternating, a good overview recent…

Hi, Would love to find someone interested in taking on the consumer marketing side of our project, while we develop dealer channels and corp direct sales. Sitting is killing us. Wh…

https://www.movably.com/ Got beat up a bit here originally- didn't have the science to share to back up our claims. Now we do, moving regularly prevents back pain & can be easy and…

The Capisco was the last chair I had before diving into this and it actually worked pretty well. I mostly alternated legs, with one standing while the other was draped on the chair…

Interesting, that fit's one of the lines of research on disc health because the disc are nourished indirectly mostly through the porous vertebrae, it takes motion to create the pre…

Working on a better solution to sedentary health and sitting caused back pain at work. No one posture is the answer, so there is probably an optimal amount of regular postural vari…

The standing desk is a part of it, but a majority of standing desks are not used for the intended purpose- to switch form sitting to standing more frequently. The problem is a comb…

Thanks, we have some chairs circulating in your area, or at leas can try to arrange one for you to try nearby. If you sign up we will follow up: https://movably.typeform.com/to/Nyo…
