I'm a lawyer, not a doctor.  But, lawyers are supposed to pay attention to evidence, and not ignore it just because it's new or different.  And there's one matter on which the evidence is increasingly clear:  we sit way too much for our own good.  Nice graphic on this (that I got from here) is below:

I asked a fine local Salem craftsman, George Essaides, of Willamette Valley Fine Woodworking, to design and make a standing desk/bookshelf for me, as the excessive sitting required in a solo law practice was getting to me.

George did a marvelous job in just a couple weeks, and I am really enjoying having a choice about whether to stand up and work or not (I kept my old desk and computer too, so I can switch back and forth)
.

Happy to show it off if you want to see it up close, just let me know you're coming so I can be sure to be here.
