Most of us who sit at a desk
all day suffer from some type of back pain as a result of poor
sitting posture. Even some of the best ergonomic office chairs
just don't provide enough support to the neck and lower back to help
alleviate these sore muscles and joints. A Balans kneeling
chair is a type of chair for sitting in a position with the thighs
dropped to an angle of about 60 to 70 degrees from vertical (as
opposed to 90 degrees when sitting in a normal chair), with some of
the body's weight supported by the shins. Kneeling chairs were
invented in Norway in the 1970s and have become extremely popular
alternatives to the standard office chair These designs took as
their starting point the strain placed on the spine by conventional
right-angled chairs. |

Balans kneeling chairs open up the angle
between the thigh and the torso, making it easier to retain the
natural curvature of the spine. This posture changes the stress
distribution of the human body in comparison with the sitting
position of an ordinary chair. Because the angle of the hip joint is
between that of sitting and standing, it allows the spine to be in a
more "neutral," or middle-of-range, position. Because the knees are
lower than the pelvis, the normal curve is restored to the lower
spine, which reduces stress to the lower lumbar vertebrae.
