Published: March 04, 2026

Standing desks aren't a fix-all—without tweaks, you'll just trade back pain for foot fatigue. 1. Angle your monitor so the top is at eye level (use books, not just risers). 2. Wear supportive shoes or use an anti-fatigue mat with texture (stimulates foot movement). 3. Tilt your keyboard slightly negative (front higher than back) to keep wrists straight. Small changes, big comfort gains.
