My therapist recommends a tilt in space chair because it would relieve pressure. What do you think?She was right as far as she went. Tilt in space chairs are great for pressure relief, however so are standing chairs, and standing offers so many MORE physiological benefits. When a person stands they are exercising their heart, doing weight bearing, stretching muscles and tendons, as well as doing pressure relief.
A person can obviously perform more tasks standing up versus sitting or tilting. Standing promotes independence and self-esteem.
The great thing about standing is that as a person leads a normal independent life they are also getting a physical workout throughout the day without even thinking about it. As you stand to look out a window, reach a tool, or talk to a friend you are ALSO GETTING THE PHYSIOLOGICAL BENEFITS OF STANDING. The health benefits come about as a byproduct of leading a more independent life. A person gets two things for the price of one.
