If you don’t want to stand, these are a lot more comfortable than they look

All the DSE reports I have seen from OH, suggest most benefit can be had from varying the posture, and spending some time standing and some time sitting. Only really achievable with an adjustable desk.
Yes we had some of these, but if you have wrecked knees I would urge caution. I tried one for posture, but kneeling caused me alot of swelling and discomfort in my knees.
Apologiesalready mentioned upthread

My posture has improved, I don't get back ache anymore and my core strength is good..
Yes, Pilates has done it for me. Strengthening my core has changed my posture without me thinking about it, I sit better, walk better, can walk more efficiently, so can get fitter. A virtuous circle that starts from the inside.This is the key. I did lots of work to improve my posture with my physiotherapist and it's all about core strength which is what allows you to sit comfortably. For years I thought a magic £££ chair would fix my posture and back problems but it turns out mostly it's about some simple exercises.
Basically if you get your core working properly you will subconsciously hold your spine in the right place in the same way you can hold your head up without thinking about it. Once you do this sitting properly becomes effortless and the hunched and slumped posture of the office worker goes away.
I work in a flexi-environment with a range of workstations. My preference is always a stand-up desk when I can get one. I'm on my feet most of the day, but not just standing still.You should try it if you can. All our office desks in the US and UK can be standing or sitting. TBH most still sit but many do stand for 30 mins to an hour or so with a few hardcore folks standing all day.
