Probably the single most important principle of body-concious design is to use design to keep posture varied and the body moving. We need to consider not just different ways to sit, but also ways to incorporate a variety of postures - including lying and standing - into our lives. This means that one of the most important aspects of a designer's role is to help change social perception. People will generally use what is made available to them. Designers can help legitimize people's need to change positions simply by providing furniture for a variety of postures. If we provide places for people to lie down, stand up, squat, or crawl, then we acknowledge those postures as a part of normal living.
