Fear of sitting down = Kathisophobia

The Fear of sitting down is defined in our Phobia Dictionary as Kathisophobia.

Savio's Notes on this Specific Phobia
Heaven help those who suffer from this phobia. I cannot imagine having to avoid sitting down all the time. Especially if you work on a computer or at a desk in an office or at home. Anyway, having said this, Kathisophobia is one of the easiest phobias to overcome in my experiences with people suffering from symptoms of this phobia.

Both sexes suffer equally from this phobia. Girls who suffer from this phobia also have a great fear for sitting down on toilet seats too. I guess it's the movies again that play havoc with innocent young minds.

Phobia Treatment & Prevention according to Savio
This is one of the easiest phobias to treat although it may seem difficult to find a treatment for this phobia. Simply because symptoms of this phobia are never really serious and patients show only mild symptoms of panic and hypertension when faced with the option of sitting down and nothing else. Building an environment with declining beds and chairs is often used to overcome this phobia. Gradually raising the bed and chairs over the weeks helps in reducing this fear altogether.
