Teresa Satterfield works in a property management office and is on the computer around 8 hours a day. She has noticed how spending long amounts of time at her computer affect her work day and overall well-being. She recently started using the TaskMate Go from HealthPostures.
Prior to getting a standing desk she had some pain and lethargy when she sat at her desk for long periods of time. Teresa remembers, “Sometimes I would have some lower back pain. A bit of fatigue comes with any computer work if you aren’t moving around ever so often.” Now that she has the option to stand and move with the TaskMate Go, she feels better throughout the day.
Teresa started standing slowly but gradually progressed to stand for longer amounts of time during the day. She pointed out, “Having the option to stand, but also being able to sit easily too is great. Particularly when you first get it since you can stand for an hour on the first day, then two hours after a few days, and slowly adjust to standing more.”

Proper ergonomics is a key factor in getting the best results from your standing desk. For Teresa, being able to tweak the height of the monitors to just the right height makes all the difference. She advised, “Having your monitors at eye level is much more comfortable than tilting your monitor up and looking down (which I am sure some other people have tried before when you don’t have an adjustable stand).”
For a standing desk to be used often, it must be easy to use and adjust. The TaskMate Go that Teresa uses has simple adjustments and assisted lift, “I appreciate the gas spring making it easier to lift the weight of my monitor, keyboard, and mouse.”
We love getting feedback from our customers on what options they would like to see in a desktop converter or standing desk, or what features they like best. Teresa mentioned, “I know a dual screen option exists, but I would like a triple screen upgrade option. Two monitors for working and one for a security camera.” Since Teresa is a Property Manager, we can understand how having a triple screen option would be a benefit for her job.
Teresa loves her standing desk and would recommend the HealthPostures TaskMate Go to friends who are looking to get more movement into their work day. She feels that “trying is believing” and that when people adjust the standing desk up and down themselves, the smooth movement of the standing desk sells itself.
We love hearing stories from people like Teresa who are enhancing their desk time by standing up and changing positions throughout the day.
