Post Body

41M,169cm 60kg Chinese, genuinely wanting to know what is best for me and my back. In general good health.

I'm in Indonesia now and my place doesn't have an office chair, just one without a backrest. I was told that was a nono, but when I checked online there is a lot of information on how standing is better for you long term, and I do know people who stand and use the computer.

I care about my health, so I want to know what is the best practice. I can't get another chair on short notice. Do I continue standing for now? I use the computer most of the day.
