Programming often means long hours of static sitting.
When the body stays in the same position for too long, muscles start to weaken and the spine takes most of the load.
The invisible price of the programming profession
Most programmers spend a large part of their day sitting.
When the body remains static for too long, the muscles gradually weaken and most of the load falls on the spine.
The most common consequences:
- low back pain
- neck and shoulder tension
- poor sitting posture
- fatigue during work
- poor concentration
These problems develop gradually – over years of prolonged sitting.
How much time do programmers actually spend sitting?
Programming often means long hours at the computer.
Many programmers spend 8 or more hours a day, often in the same position.
That means more than 2000 hours of sitting per year.
The problem is not just sitting per se, but static sitting without movement, which gradually puts strain on the spine.
What happens to the body when you sit for long periods of time?
When the body stays in the same position for a long time:
- the muscles of the trunk weaken
- the spine takes most of the load
- posture gradually deteriorates
- pressure on the intervertebral discs increases
- neck and shoulder muscles become overworked
The result is pain in:
- Cross
- lower back
- the neck
- shoulders
Is SpinaliS right for me?
Is SpinaliS suitable for working at a computer for long periods of time?
Yes. SpinaliS is designed for prolonged sitting, as it allows active sitting where the body remains in slight motion.
This helps to reduce the static load on the spine that is common when working for hours at a computer.
What does active sitting mean?
Active sitting means that the chair allows micro-movements while you sit.
Instead of staying in a completely fixed position, the body slightly adjusts to your movements, activating the muscles of the torso and promoting a more natural posture.
Is sitting in a SpinaliS chair tiring?
No. Most users get used to the way they sit within a few days.
The movement is very subtle and does not interfere with work or concentration.
Is the chair also suitable for multi-hour coding sessions?
Yes. SpinaliS is designed specifically for long hours at the computer.
Active sitting helps reduce low back tension and promotes a more natural posture, even when working for hours.
How long does it take to get used to SpinaliS?
Most users get used to the chair within a few days to a week.
During this time, the body adapts to active sitting and starts to use the muscles of the trunk naturally.
Why SpinaliS?
The SpinaliS office chair is the only chair that offers the comfort of a modern office chair, while at the same time mimicking the active sitting on a fitness ball recommended by doctors and therapists as the best aid for healthy sitting. Sitting on a SpinaliS chair keeps your muscles active all the time, without you having to pay special attention.

Very satisfied customer. I have a lot of back problems (kyphosis) and after just a few minutes of sitting I felt that my back muscles were "working". The chair actually helps with upright posture, which was a big problem for me … More before. Since I chose a very "sedentary" profession, the desire to have this chair had been present and planned for a long time. Now I have it and I am absolutely satisfied. The chair works by strengthening the back muscles, so with regular use it helps us maintain a better posture even on other chairs. I recommend it for anyone who sits most of the day and has pain associated with it.
In addition, it is a very beautiful chocolate brown color. -

I’ve been using the Hacker chair for the past 5 years and it’s been great for my posture.
Recently I broke a chair lifter (gas pump) and the service was quick, easy and inexpensive.
Definitely recommend the chair if you spend a lot of time … More sitting. -
I recently purchased the Spinalis chair, and it has been a game-changer for my seating position and overall comfort.
The ergonomic design really helps maintain a proper seating posture, which has significantly reduced my back pain and muscle … More tension. Even in the first week of usage I could already feel a noticeable improvement in my back health and muscles.
I highly recommend the Spinalis chair to anyone looking for a comfortable and supportive seating solution. It's definitely worth the investment! -
Spinalis chairs are amazing, they really relieve your neck and back tensions! I had mine shipped from Slovenia and it was super easy to assemble the chair. The staff at Spinalis were also very helpful when processing my order.

I have had this chair (Navigator model) for more that 15 years. I think that this is one of the first models. After this time the fabric got a bit worn out and the hydraulics got stuck so i took it in for a repair. I paid approx 50 EUR … More and the chair is as good as new. They even replaced the back pin that holds the backrest for free that I didnt even notice that it was broken. I would say its worh the money given that its hard to buy quality products these days that really last not to meantion the health benefits this chair brings. I have it at home and i can feel the difference if i work from home or from the office (where i dont have the navigator). Now that the COVID situation is becoming under control and we are returning to work in offices its becoming even more clear that this is indeed a perfect chair. The staff handling the repair were super friendly as well.
