Kneeling Chair Benefits

Kneeling chairs are also good for pregnant women, particularly in later stages of pregnancy, as less pressure is placed on the womb. More…
Sitting with the hips higher than the knees can also increase freedom of movement and improve reach. More…
Compression on the discs of the lumbar spine is relieved by as much as 35% when seated in a kneeling posture. More…
Poor posture is often developed from working environments that do not support proper spinal alignment, or do not fit the individual’s needs. More…
Tilting the pelvis forward not only enables correct spinal alignment and posture when sitting, it also improves breathing, circulation and digestion. More…
Kneeling chairs come with different levels of adjustability, so each individual can find their optimum sitting position. More…
A kneeling chair reduces muscle tension and strain and therefore reduces the risk of injury while seated. More…
Kneeling chairs are suitable for adults, teenagers and children both at home and in the office. More…
Continued use of kneeling chairs increases muscle strength in the abdominals and back. More…

Back Pain — Australian Statistics

Chronic back pain is a common musculoskeletal problem that is estimated to affect almost 80% of the world’s population at some point1 and often limits daily activities.

In Australia, musculoskeletal and connective tissue problems accounted for 45% of the long term conditions reported in 2004–2005. More specifically, 15.1% of Australians reported suffering recurrent back pain and problems, neck or disc disorders in this time period2. Of this group, 1,169,500 individuals (or 39%) reported work related conditions to be the cause of their musculoskeletal condition. In addition, 936,200 cases (or 31.2%) reported in 2004–2005 resulted from injury.
