The benefits attributed to the use of kneeling chairs are due to their ergonomic design. Their use can improve one’s posture, and help alleviate back pain and pressure on the spinal cord. This article provides information on the features and cost of some of the models available in the market.
When we sit on a normal chair, the angle between the knees is 90°. When we sit on a kneeling chair, the angle between the knees is between 60° to 70°. When you sit on such a chair, you do not kneel completely. The weight of the body falls partly on the knees, while the shins bear the remaining weight. Due to their ergonomic design, the kneeling chairs can help protect the spinal cord from damage that could be caused due to improper posture.
