Malcolm,

I use an adjustable stand up desk. One day I was moving some boxes about

and ended up bulging a disc in my lower back. With a good SOT

chiropractor, and a teeter hang up I'm back to no pain. The adjustable

I use allows me to stand up a good portion of the day. I used boxes and

a shelf from a book case across them to stand up before getting the

adjustable desk. Having the keyboard and mouse at the same level was a

blessing. I didn't lift my monitors up, just pointed them up some days,

not everyday.

The company owners didn't like the look of the boxes, so they offered me

a couple of options. This is the one I selected.

I ended up buying a good pair of running shoes to stand at the desk for

70% of the day. Good arch support is a requirement.

I have two monitors on a stand. If a monitor isn't balanced well, firm

typing will cause it to shake. I didn't get a level out, but that seems

to be what I ended up doing.

(and for those interested in what SOT means:
