If you’re dealing with back pain or sciatica, especially from long periods of sitting at a desk, then a kneeling chair could be your answer.
I first began using a kneeling chair in 2013 to manage my own lower back pain and sciatic symptoms. The improvement was significant, and I've been recommending these chairs to clients who suffer with back pain ever since.
Why a Kneeling Chair?
Kneeling chairs promote an open hip angle, pelvic support and help align the spine naturally. This posture reduces pressure on the lower back, engages core muscles, and encourages better overall spinal health.
Budget and Premium Options
Here are two options from Amazon that resemble the chair I found beneficial:
Budget Option HERE: An affordable and functional model.
Premium Option HERE: A higher-end model with better quality build.
I have no financial ties to either of these products; they simply mirror the style of the chair that helped me.
Whether you choose a budget or premium option, the important thing is to find a chair that supports a healthy posture and helps you to manage your back pain effectively.
And don’t forget to get up and a move every 30 mins!
