Depending of how deep the connective tissue is stiffed anyone has a different threshold of healing. The power of healing from Zhan Zhuang depends on three factors: the angle of knee bending, the time of standing and mental of activity. So, bending a little more increases the chi, the more time you stand the more chi you gain and bringing attention on the hands and feet circulates the chi better. All the meridians travel and terminates on feet and hands. So when inhaling bring the attention into the dantian (below the navel) and when exhaling bring the attention on your hands, fingers or feet.
In the beginning it is better to extend the time rather than bending. Bringing the awarenes to the wuji center, sinking the chi and raising the spirit as explained in the book: Warriors of Stillness.
For someone the threshold of healing may be 40 min a standing which is better than 20 min....
