Does standing reduce lower back pain?

Alternating between sitting and standing can reduce lower back pain by decreasing sustained spinal compression. Studies suggest that workers who use sit-stand desks report less lumbar discomfort compared to those who sit all day. 

However, standing continuously can shift strain to the legs and feet. The goal is posture variation and light movement. Using an anti-fatigue mat and maintaining correct elbow-height alignment improves outcomes significantly.
