How Does a Kneeling Chair Improve Your Sitting Posture?
The Kneeling Chair enables you to sit straightforwardly and maintain a good sitting posture all along without any influence or restriction from outside force. A good Kneeling Chair can prevent the occurrence of short sight and humpback.
A Kneeling Chair consists of two mutual gradient cushions. One located at the back is the cushion for sitting and the other at front is the cushion for knee support. When you sit on it your whole body weight is proportionally supported and balanced by your buttock and knees. As affected by the counterforce of the supporting point of knee, the lumbar and the backbone cannot help but move upwards to balance the force. As a result your backbone is entirely drawn straight forward and the body will naturally sit up correctly without any backrest or lumbar support.
Thus, this helps in naturally propping up the vertebral column, raising the head and straightening the chest keeping a safe distance between the eye and desktop. Thereby it effectively puts an end to the occurrence of short sightedness and humpback.
