What makes a kneeling chair so good?
An ergonomic kneeling chair is a unique sight due to its design. The design may not be to everyone's taste, but for the kneeling chair, function comes before form.
The form is, in fact, very important. It allows you to sit in a kneeling position on this chair. This posture ensures that you place your hips and back in their natural position. This prevents muscle strain.
If you already experience back pain, you can find relief by using a kneeling chair. An additional benefit of an ergonomic kneeling chair is that you unconsciously train your back and abdominal muscles.
Don't immediately think that you'll be exhausted from training after half an hour of sitting. The training is much more subtle. Because your back is free of support, you are constantly correcting your body. In doing so, you use all sorts of muscles in your back and abdomen.
For which complaints is a kneeling chair good for you?
The term kneeling chair usually comes up in combination with lower back pain. This is not surprising, as kneeling chairs are primarily aimed at bringing the back and pelvis into a less strenuous position. It is therefore quite well known that a kneeling chair can be good for you if you have back problems. What complaints does a kneeling chair help with? You can read that below.
Back pain
By far one of the most common complaints, back pain. The inventor focused on this complaint for a reason. Monthly, it is 'googled' more than 8000 times in the Netherlands alone. But that doesn't mean it's a simple marketing story. The design of a kneeling chair actually provides a less strenuous posture. In addition, the forward-sloping seat encourages an active posture. Both are good for preventing or alleviating back pain.
Neck and shoulder complaints
Because you are encouraged to sit upright at your workstation, other body parts also benefit from the improved posture. For example, the straight, active posture also ensures a better position for the neck and shoulders. That's a nice bonus.
In addition to an actual improvement in working posture, a kneeling chair also makes you more aware of your workstation and working posture. By consciously thinking about this, you will automatically implement small improvements that benefit your body.
Tips for using a kneeling chair
How do you apply a kneeling chair to your workplace? A not entirely unimportant question. Especially because it doesn't completely replace your office chair, but should be used for variation. Read the most important tips for using a kneeling chair here.
- Build up the usage time
The different sitting posture stimulates different muscles. If you immediately adopt this different posture for several hours in a row, it can happen that you actually have an adverse effect. You will experience (temporary) more discomfort because you overload the muscles. This manifests itself as a stiff feeling or muscle soreness, similar to what you sometimes experience after exercising.
- Alternate between different working postures
Many complaints arise from continuous static load. In other words, by staying in the same posture for a long time. You can prevent this by constantly changing posture. With a kneeling chair, you can already alternate between your office chair and the kneeling chair. If you have a sit-stand desk (chapeau!), you can even add a third variation to your posture. Bonus tip! Also move around a bit between changing postures. For example, walk to the kitchen for a healthy snack.
- Give it some time
Yes, you read that right. You won't experience the benefits of a kneeling chair in one day. In fact, at first, you might find it a nuisance. But after the adjustment period, you will have already spent many hours in a correct posture and you might just find yourself working more comfortably.
