Research & Articles on the Benefits of Standing

Over the years, we have compiled a comprehensive list of research studies, articles and blogs documenting the many benefits of standing therapy.

To help you drill down to the studies that you may find the most relevant for your needs, you can search by the main health benefits or diagnosis that it covers, then sort by date published, and user rating. When we are able, we will provide the PDF, link to the full article, or link to the abstract so you can request the full research study from PubMed. If you are looking for something specific, you can also try the search box in the top right hand corner.
