I enjoy talking to physiotherapists. One thing they and others say is that fixed postures are bad, movement is good. So get up and move around a bit etc. What always seems to get forgotten in this binary between being still and movement, is balance. Balance, or poise, removes the binary entirely. Being balanced is an active state, you don't have to move around to be active. Sitting on a chair or standing up are acts of balance, not static postures.
