An Update On The Kneeling Chair
By Sally Ormond of Briar Copywriting
In my last intel I talked about a kneeling chair. If you recall, I mentioned that as a freelance copywriter I have a tendency to sit for long periods at my desk. Needless to say, this does little for my back or posture. Although I make a conscious effort to make sure I don't sit still for long periods by taking regular breaks, I still end up suffering from lower back pain. Rather than just putting this down to being 'part of the job' I decided to give a kneeling chair a go. Over the years I'd heard numerous good reports about them - how they improve your posture etc. They aren't exactly cheap which is why I'd not taken the leap before. But, you can't put a price on your health so I decided to take the plunge. I've been using my chair for about a week now. I will admit it took rather a lot of getting used to. The one I bought is adjustable, swivels and is on casters. To start with clambering on and off was amusing but I soon got the hang of it. I also found that my back ached more the first day or two. This is probably due to the fact that it was making me sit up properly so I was no longer slouching. But as the days went by I got more used to it and now I find it rather comfortable. I haven't even fallen off yet! The padded knee rest is very comfortable and slopes at just the right angle, as does the seat. The model I bought also came with a removable back. However I found it just got in the way so I've taken it off now. Plus it would only encourage me to lean back which defeats the whole object of the chair in the first place. So would I recommend a kneeling chair? Most definitely. It will take some getting used to, but once you're used to it you'll find it very comfortable.

I've only used one kneeling chair and it had no back. That was strange, at first, but after a while, it seemed logical - it's trying to stop you leaning back! I loved it.
Thanks for the follow up Sally. Is there any indication that this might cause knee problems?
Keep us posted.
Best wishes.
Frederick
CONTRIBUTOR'S REPLY
Hi Frederick, So long as you buy a good chair you're ok. The angle of the knee pad is important. Your legs have to be at the right angle for you to sit properly. And, as no weight is on your knees it shouldn't cause a problem. Best wishes. Sally
My knees started giving me gyp after using a knee chair for a few years.
