A kneeling chair is a type of chair designed to encourage a more upright posture by tilting the pelvis forward. It has a padded seat and knee supports, which allow the person sitting to kneel instead of sitting fully on their bottom. This design helps reduce pressure on the lower back and can promote better spinal alignment. Kneeling chairs are often used by people who need to improve posture or reduce back pain. They are typically lightweight and adjustable, making them suitable for work or home settings.
