My former company has bought standing desk for anybody that asked for one.
A standing desk is not a substitute for walking around.
There’s been some research that standing desks are actually worse than sitting. One of my coworkers got one of those walking desks that’s a standing desk with a treadmill. Worked okay if you were just copying & pasting, but it was pretty difficult if you needed to type paragraphs of text. Or, it could be that I’m just a lousy typist.
I spent several months on blood thinners last year after two years at a job that kept me sitting motionless in front of a computer for 40-50 hrs/week. I got a clot in my leg in spite of being a runner and getting up to walk around every hour. But yeah, get up and walk around as much as possible because your life does depend on it.
Compression stockings are a good solution to improve circulation as well. After some long flight induced dvt’s I am now stuck wearing them. Still better than dying or having my legs double in diameter. Exercise in general along with a walk around the office hourly really helps.
Support stockings and low dose aspirin are your answer
I must be immune to this. I often sit for more than an hour at a time at work, and occasionally for many hours at a time at home or on planes, no blood clots so far.
