Norwich Back Pal Kneeling Stool

Designed to improve spinal posture and prevent lower limb musculo-skeletal stresses.

The Norwich Back Pal Kneeling Stool is a multi-award winning product for people who need to adopt a static kneeling posture during aspects of their work.

Originally designed in Norwich for District Nurses, it is compact (with folding legs), lightweight and easy to clean. Its use prevents the user's body weight compressing their lower limbs - whilst the gently sloping seat helps to promote a more upright spinal posture when performing tasks between waist and chest height.

" . . . it certainly has been improving the working lives of district nurses here in Norwich." Occupational Health Nurse Manager, Norfolk PCT

Norwich Back Pal Kneeling Stool | Ergonomics

The human spine has a natural curve which is known as its lordosis.

When you sit on a 'Norwich Back Pal Kneeling Stool™' your pelvis is tilted at the correct angle which allows the spine to assume its natural lordosis.

Sitting this way will help to prevent backache and ease existing pain caused by poor posture.

Circulation in the legs is unimpeded and weight is relieved from the knees making it the most comfortable way to kneel on the floor.

Awards
