ARE KNEELING CHAIRS GOOD FOR YOU? Traditional office chairs are particularly good at supporting the back. Whilst this is a good thing, it also means that the body does not need to use any muscles as the chair is doing its job – hence why people are known to slump in office chairs.

Benefits for the Spine

Organ Function

Kneeling chairs are designed to keep the spine in a neutral position. By using a kneeling chair, the body is forced to use the core muscles to keep you upright.

The fact that the chair makes these muscles work harder means it is likely that users will notice an improvement in their core muscles after using the chair for a while.

Improved posture can also have benefits for organ function. By sitting in the correct upright position, the lungs can take in more air, and the heart can circulate blood more efficiently.

The extra oxygen brought in by the lungs can supply the brain, helping individuals to be more productive.
