Benefits of a Kneeling Chair as an Office Chair

At the beginning of my search for the best office workstation, I started using a kneeling chair, which has been my most common office chair for most of the past 20-odd years. I think they're great for backs, and I suspect they alleviate some health risks because they don't keep the body so folded up in the middle.

I would guess I've gone through four or five of them since the first I ever used, dubbed "the engagement chair" by the good person who first gave it to me, and to whom I was at that date engaged – a path not ultimately taken. But I digress.

It's only in the past few years that I began to feel the kneeling chair was getting hard on my knees. I think this might be partly because of cumulative problems relating to sitting down so much, and as much connected with hips as knees, if you follow. So I guess what I'm saying is that I heartily endorse kneeling chairs, but that I suspect sitting all the time is still not a good idea.
