Why aren’t most office chairs good for the spine?
Most office chairs hold the body in a static position.
This means that you are putting pressure on the same points of the spine for hours on end, and the muscles of the torso become passive.
Over time, this often leads to:
– slouched posture
– neck and shoulder tension
– low back pain
– fatigue after long periods of sitting
The biggest problem is that these changes happen slowly and invisibly.
Frequently asked questions about sitting and spinal health
Why is prevention so important when it comes to sitting?
Most back problems don’t happen overnight.
Prolonged passive sitting gradually puts strain on the spine, weakens the muscles of the trunk and negatively affects posture.
By the time the pain starts, the deformities are often already present.
That’s why it makes sense to think about prevention today, not just when the problems start.
How does SpinaliS help prevent back pain?
SpinaliS enables active sitting.
The flexible seat adapts to your movement, so your body is not forced into a static position.
When sitting, the muscles of the torso are gently activated, helping to maintain a more natural spinal alignment.
This means less static strain and more dynamic sitting throughout the day.
What is the difference between a SpinaliS chair and a normal office chair?
A normal chair holds the body in one position.
Weight presses on the same points, and over time the muscles become passive.
SpinaliS allows micro-movement while sitting.
This keeps the body more active, which can help reduce long-term strain on the spine.
Can a chair really affect posture?
Yes. The chair has a significant impact on how the body sits for several hours a day.
If the chair supports passive sitting, posture often gradually deteriorates.
But if it allows active sitting, the body can more easily maintain a more natural spinal alignment.
Can SpinaliS replace exercise or exercise?
No. Regular physical activity is still the key to spinal health.
But SpinaliS helps reduce the negative effects of prolonged sitting by encouraging movement even while sitting.
Don’t wait for pain.
Most people only start thinking about ergonomics when they start experiencing back pain.
But problems often develop slowly and imperceptibly – over years of passive sitting.
Prolonged sitting without movement can gradually lead to:
– poor posture
– spinal strain
– neck and shoulder tension
– low back pain
That’s why prevention is key.
SpinaliS encourages active sitting, allowing your body to move more even when you need to sit.
So you can reduce the strain on your spine today, before problems arise.

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.
