Many customers report discomfort in their shins or knees when first using the Chiesma kneeling chair. This is a normal reaction.
The Chiesma chair is designed to correct your sitting posture by straightening your curved lumbar spine and redistributing pressure from your lower back to your shins and knees. While this may cause temporary discomfort, it actively improves your posture and benefits your lumbar spine.
How to Minimize Discomfort in Your Shins or Knees:
The Chiesma kneeling chair comes with a backrest. When you feel discomfort in your shins or knees, simply shift your weight toward the rear of the seat and lean against the backrest (the backrest prevents you from tipping backward). In this position, your lumbar spine remains straight, but pressure is temporarily relieved from your shins and knees, reducing discomfort.
Safety Note:
We do not recommend rocking the chair excessively forward or backward. Any kneeling chair on the market may become unstable and tip over if rocked too forcefully. For your safety, we’ve included a fixed backrest to prevent accidents.
