Jim,

         I know one trader who does yoga and sometimes uses standing yoga 
positions during the day--standard computer set up.  Another trader has a 
Swedish "kneel chair"--popular some years ago; knees on pads, butt on a 
seat, keep your back straight yourself.  One trader once recommended a 
rocker.   A big monitor seems to help if you stand and stretch during the day.
