- iorrus 14y agoDo you have good posture? Can you do the hollow rock see gymnasticswod.com. I've been using a standing desk for many months and it takes a long time to adjust. EDIT - Do you wear shoes when standing? I only wear socks/bare feet on a thin carpet over a wooden floor. Shoes raise your heals slightly. Alot of the suggestions from people who are saying to get an anti fatigue mat probably have tight hip flexors it shouldn't be necessary have a look at this link http://www.mobilitywod.com/2011/06/episode-274-the-standing-athlete.html http://www.mobilitywod.com/2011/06/episode-274-the-standing-...
- iorrus 14y agoWhat about your thoracic mobility in extension, Can you hold the yoga asana 'the bow' easily and without tension? What about holding a bridge or as it's called in yoga 'the wheel'. Both are good predictors of thoractic and shoulder mobility. If you've been sitting at a desk for 20 years you've probably got your thoracic spine trapped in flexion (called kyphosis).
