Female athletes around the globe continue to impress and amaze delivering one solid performance on the sports battle field after another. They are stand up female warriors.
Given their great accomplishments on the mats, many of our Competitive Female Submission Wrestlers stand tall as well.
But if any of these women have a home office or work in one where they spend an extensive amount of time sitting at a desk to make a living, one of the potential side effects that can come with that is back pain.
One possible solution to that problem that is trending well is the purchasing and utilizing of the Stand Up Desk.
So what is a Stand Up Desk exactly?
A standing desk or stand-up desk is a desk conceived for writing or reading while standing up or while sitting on a high stool.
Though some may think so, the concept is not exactly new.
According to Wikipedia, notable users of standing desks include Leonardo da Vinci, U.S. founding father Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, Supreme Court Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., British Prime Minister Winston Churchill, author Virginia Woolf, author and philosopher Albert Camus, songwriter Oscar Hammerstein II, author Ernest Hemingway, former U.S. Secretary of Defense Donald Rumsfeld, and author Nathaniel Hawthorne.
Very intriguing.
Due to the recent popularity of the Stand Up Desk, Femcompetitor Magazine decided to research some companies that provide this ergonomic product and one group that seemed to consistently get good reviews is The Human Solution.
Let’s meet them.
At their well-designed site thehumansolution.com they welcome and educate us. “Science has shown just how unhealthy it is to sit for a majority of the day. Even exercise and proper diet can’t cancel out the problems caused by sitting too much. Unfortunately, many careers and jobs center around this posture, making 40+ hours of the week more dangerous to your long-term health than you would think.
Human Solution is on a mission to provide the healthiest and most productive office solutions. We’re here to help you, our customers, eliminate the negative effects of a sedentary working lifestyle, starting with our industry leading stand up desks, chairs, and accessories. Whether you sit for only an hour or all day, there is a better way to stay healthy at work. Let us help you find the right solutions for your work habits and space.
It starts with the study of ergonomics. Ergonomics is the science of designing the workplace to fit the worker based on improving productivity and reducing injuries caused by repetitive stress, poor posture, and high forces. The most important thing to remember is that you need to keep moving throughout the day. Our products are designed to do just that.

We were founded by Jon Paulsen, a Certified Professional Ergonomist (CPE) with over 15 years of workplace assessment and product design experience. He’s trained our team to offer you expert, personalized service during every step of your Human Solution journey. And we offer only the best ergonomic products on the market, including the leading UPLIFT Desk.
Our team is focused on creating partnerships with you, our customers, and building a company centered around service, quality, speed, expert knowledge, and value. We think that following these principles will give you the best possible experience and results.
In addition to our team of experts, our blog, and ergonomic resource pages can provide you with a wealth of information on healthy office solutions.
Starting with our retail showroom in Austin, Texas, we’re a company that thrives on finding, sourcing, and creating the best ergonomic products for our customers. Many, if not most, of our solid wood desktops are sourced in the USA from naturally fallen timber, and are handcrafted by our expert woodworkers here in Austin.”
What an exceptional story.
Some of their partners are the University of Texas, National Public Radio and Boeing to name a few.
We looked them up at the Texas Better Business Bureau and among the myriads of positive reviews, here are two.
“These Desks are just great, have transformed the CAD Design Dept. the team loves them. We had a shipping issue and the support from the Human Solution was outstanding we had a new shipment in a few days 20 desks. I highly recommend their product and the excellent service.”
“Our employees are very satisfied with the standing desks. We ordered our first one a couple of years ago and now 1/2 of our staff (20) has one. The staff at Human Solution are wonderful to work with; very accommodating; and helpful. The shipments were as stated and in good shape when they arrived.”
Now that we have a better understanding of the benefits and uses of the Stand Up Desk, we turn our attention to a visiting writer with more to share.
Improve Workplace Comfort And Productivity With Stand Up Desks
By Duff Elleby
There are many types of work desks available these days, and almost all of them have some unique feature or features that make them “different” or “better” than other models. But, perhaps the best, most ergonomic and most versatile work desk variation of them all is the stand up desk.
Stand up work desks have become increasingly popular in the workplace as of late, and for good reason. A stand up desk can be used at various heights throughout the workday to maximize user comfort and productivity. Stand up desks can be adjusted to different heights, some of them allowing well over a foot of height adjustment. Users can adjust these desks to accommodate sitting, standing, or-if they’re completing lengthy paperwork, technical drawings, or a similar task-leaning.
With height adjustable stand up work desks, employees won’t have to sit in just one position all day like they do at standard desks. Stand up desks will allow them to move around more, relieving the stress placed on key muscles, particularly in the hip flexors and back. Standing has been proven to be less stressful to vertebrae and back muscles than sitting, as the legs are able to help bear some of the body weight load. This reduced stress and improved mobility will reduce or, ideally, eliminate workers’ chronic pain, leading to far fewer lost work hours and fewer worker’s compensation claims.
Many people are now choosing to work longer days, sometimes as long as 10 to 12 hours at a time, and the flexibility of a stand up desk will help make those extra hours far easier and more productive. And, because many stand up work desks offer easy manual, hand crank or electronic controls, changing heights multiple times throughout the day is a simple undertaking. There are a wide variety of different styles and configurations of stand up desks available, so it’s quite easy to find the perfect fit for the needs of your employees, and yourself. No matter what the task, there’s an adjustable height stand up work desk to meet its daily requirements.
Stand up desks will help you and your employees stay alert, comfortable, focused, and efficient. Adding their superb adaptability to the workplace will help avoid back strain, carpal tunnel syndrome, tendinitis, and many other workplace maladies. The improved health and productivity you’ll experience throughout the workplace will make you wonder why you didn’t make the switch to stand up work desks sooner.
