All human movement is a skill and anything you "do wrong" over and over again will eventually cause injury. I'd recommend you take a look at Dr. Kelly Starrett's book "Becoming A Supple Leopard" the title may seem silly but the information inside is life changing.

Here is the Amazon link: http://www.amazon.com/Becoming-Supple-Leopard-Preventing-Per...

I can also help if needed, contact should be in my profile.

Love Starrett!

He also did a talk at Google (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kfg_e6YG37U) and near the end someone asks about stand up desks.

The problem the author has might not be due to the standing desk but more with his posture. The standing desk probably exacerbated the problem.

This guy is awesome, thanks for the book link!
No problem! Check out his blog as well: http://mobilitywod.com

Great resource!
