I didn’t add a standing desk because I wanted to “biohack” my workday—I added it because I was tired of feeling worse the longer I sat. During my own injury recovery, the biggest shift wasn’t standing all day; it was having the ability to change positions whenever symptoms started creeping in. In this post, I share what helped (and what didn’t), how I used sit-stand intervals as “active recovery,” and the key ergonomic and movement cues that made my desk setup part of the comeback—not part of the problem.
