As stated by company who created the active stool, VS, the Hokki stool is a fun way to encourage permanent changes of posture and resolves the contradiction between sitting and moving. As a result, sitting on the Hokki reduces strain on the musculoskeletal system, promotes motor development, and keeps attention focused on learning. This does the body and mind good in equal measure.
