Back care office solutions
For office workers sat at PC’s it can be difficult to avoid spending long periods sat at a desk, however there are some products that can help you improve back care and transform the working practices of you and your team.
Sit-stand desks / YoYo Desks
An increasingly popular solution is a sit-stand desk which allows you to work while standing.
Comprising of a split level worktop, it enables a PC screen, keyboard and mouse all to be used at a comfortable height, in accordance with best DSE practice and or course ergonomically friendly.
Initial designs of stand-sit desks were integral to desks and therefore more costly. However, as you can see pictured above, there are now a range of solutions that are designed to work with existing desks. This is not only cheaper but makes it more practical to provide for employees who may move desks or desk share.

Adjustable height that is suitable for all shapes and sizes, it weighs just 6kg and so can be easily carried anywhere. Five funky colours too! They offer the same movement benefits as sitting on a large gym ball but with the added advantage that it is less likely to roll across the office when you stand up!
