Yes, I mean the flat cushion kneelers. I have bad knees, too, but the cushioning makes kneeling pain free for me-but he may have different issues. I hope, like me, he would feel so much more empowered and independent with those tools. I know that I do. I am only 65 and an very active. I hike 6 miles a day, work with a trainer, and practice Tai Chi.

I'm going to go ahead and order some of the cushion kneelers because he's like you - active. And not being able to do so many things, with so many limitations, is depressing to him. I'm trying to make adjustments around the house so he can be more independent because I know ultimately that's best for him.. I appreciate your thoughts. I also need to suggest Tai Chi for him. It's great you're able to walk that far! I know his back starts hurting when we walk too far but I found a perfect flat dirt path along the river that has benches within about every 5 minutes of walking which is awesome. So I'm encouraging we take advantage of that. He's 75. Until he got sick last year he behaved and had the stamina of a 45-year old.
