If you mean self-controlled conscious positioning, I would disagree. There are limits to our sense of proprioception, fine motor control, etc. So, I doubt it’s possible consciously move our body into an infinite number of positions. That being said, I do think we can consciously move our body into a huge number of different positions (even of no practical use) but, the number is not infinite or approaching infinite.
Alternatively...
If you mean things beyond just joints, muscles, etc., like changes in the position of individual cells due to breathing, changes in blood flow/pressure, and things like that. I would guess that would approach an infinite number of positions. There are roughly 37.2 trillion cells in the human body, changes in their positioning would add up quick :-)

Depends on your perspective...
My perspective for the statement (is not down to the cellular level—I’m a finicky ass but not quite that much!):
But combining:
The number of moving joints in the body.
The range of motion of each of those joints.
Positions created by the action of muscles when the skeleton is stationary.
The degree a difference in position is measured.
An interesting phrase. I need to think about that a bit.
