Recommendation for a standing desk? Developing lower back pain and heard this helps. Already bought a pretty nice work desk a year ago, so ideally something that sits on top.

Not exactly what you asked for, but..

I have significant lower back pain as well and started going to a chiropractor. Initially, I went 2x a week for 2 months, and gradually tapered it back to once a month now. My back has improved drastically, and they’ve helped with some other stress as well (neck, shoulders, upper back, and any minor things that pop up). Highly recommend it if you aren’t going already. Also look into your mattress if you have a cheap or old one

Core strength and flexibility play a role in addition to your desk.

- Planks (front, back, sides)
- Static hamstring, quad, glute stretches.
- Deep squats w/ back against a wall with your arms up in a V position
- Dynamic movement stretches.

Hello RSM coworkers! I am thrilled to be moving to RSM into a Scheduler roll. I just found out yesterday and want to be as prepared as possible in the next steps.

So here are my questions.

How long does the background study take? I'm guessing admin staff have a study that is faster and less complicated than someone in Tax ect.

When training at home what did you need that wasn't supplied by RSM? My home office is well stocked but I want to be as prepared as possible.

Thanks in advance!
