Is it worth getting a better desk? Better chair? Larger screen? On average sleep + work will take 2/3 of your day. Back problems are common and if not prevented early enough they really can take away from quality of your life. Having a comfortable bed and a comfortable work setup is an investment with a very high return in my opinion. Height adjustable desk are not only used as standing desks - they also allow you to get the setup just right for you.

What I’m about to say is purely anecdotal. Posture, in my experience, is vastly overrated in preventing back pain. No amount of high-quality equipment will prevent issues because we’re simply not meant to remain static for extended periods of time. All of my back and hip pains went away the moment I started weightlifting, resistance training will do wonders to your body assuming you’re not injuring yourself in your practice.

You need to keep your body moving, and even mild resistance training is much better than any standing desk.
