Kneelsit The Chair for Life
by Greg Usher
(Kiama Australia)
Research has shown that two of the major causes of back pain among workers who have to sit for long periods are:-
1. Lack of body movement and
2. High compression loadings on your spinal discs.
The Kneelsit balance chair has been specially designed to address these problems. Influenced by the Masaai camp stool from Africa, the Kneelsit has been carefully developed over fifteen years to promote good posture, balance and spinal health. This has been achieved through a unique design combination of our patented, swivel-axle seat and kneeler and a forward-sloping seat.
The seat and shin cushion have a range of settings to suit individual thigh lengths. You adjust the cushions to discover your own natural balance, then your spine will automatically take up correct alignment without conscious effort on your part.
The action of the seat and shin cushion axles provide small, subtle movements of the body, helping to activate and "re-educate" the receptors of your muscles, joints and tendons so awakening latent postural awareness.
The Kneelsit also incorporates an adjustable spring under the seat which encourage a gentle rocking movement.
All of these movements help to stimulate the balance mechanism of your inner ear, leading to an enhanced sensitivity of your vestibular apparatus, thus a gradual improvement in your balance sense, your ability to concentrate and your general level of alertness. But most important they combine together to provide you with a truly comfortable sitting experience. Further benefits of movement are continuous nourishment to the cells of your spinal discs and regular light exercise to your back, thigh and stomach muscles.
