Ask HN: How is your standing desk working for you?

I envy people who can use standing desks. I tried for a few months but my right knee hurt pretty badly after a while. I realized I was constantly leaning on my right leg and just couldn't stop myself. Interestingly, I think most people do this more than they realize but can tolerate it better.

Do you have a history of knee issues? If not, you may want to check out some mobility stuff (mobilitywod.com). For me, tight hip flexors + IT band + achilles meant the whole system was tight and hurt after a bit of use. Check it out.

Wow, I've been having some knee pains (runners knee?) lately, but haven't had time to really investigate. This looks like a great tool to at least get started.

Not really related to standing desks, more my workout (though I've found sitting for long periods of time with runner's knee no more comfortable than standing. Sometimes it was worse). Anyway thanks!

Visceral manipulation may help fix the leaning issue. http://www.barralinstitute.com/
