Prolonged sitting is one of the main causes of modern spinal problems. When we sit in conventional, static chairs, our back and abdominal muscles are strained, which increases the pressure on the intervertebral discs. The result? Lower back pain, stiffness and long-term damage to the spine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The most common cause of back pain<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Modern working patterns mean more and more sitting. Research shows that adults now spend on average more than 6 hours a day sitting,<\/strong> and for<\/strong> office workers this is often even longer. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Prolonged sitting, especially in a static position, increases the load on the spine and reduces the activation of the stabilising muscles of the trunk. Studies therefore conclude that prolonged sitting, poor posture and lack of exercise<\/strong> are important risk factors for the development of low back pain.<\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Not surprisingly, surveys of office workers show that more than half of people experience lower back pain every year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The human body is made to move. When we sit for long periods of time without moving, the back muscles become passive and the pressure on the spine increases – which can eventually lead to tension, pain and poor posture. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Regular physical activity<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Movement is one of the best ways to relieve back pain. Focus on trunk strengthening exercises and regular stretching. Stronger muscles and better mobility reduce tension and relieve pain.
Start slowly and gradually increase the intensity. Just 30 minutes of walking, swimming or cycling several days a week is enough. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Ergonomically designed working environment<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Prolonged sitting in a bad posture often causes back pain. Adjust your chair and desk so that you are sitting upright, with your feet on the floor and the screen at eye level.
Use a chair with lumbar support or put a cushion to support your back. Take regular breaks – get up every 30 to 60 minutes, stretch or take a quick walk. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Maintaining a healthy weight<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Excess weight puts extra strain on the spine, especially the lumbar spine. Reducing weight reduces pressure on the vertebrae and back pain. A healthy weight has a positive effect on overall well-being and reduces the risk of disease.
To achieve a healthy weight, eat a balanced diet, exercise regularly and choose wholesome foods. Avoid processed foods and sugary drinks. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Stress management<\/h3>\n
\n\n

Stress often causes back tension and additional pain. Learn relaxation techniques – less stress means less pain and better mobility.
Try breathing exercises, meditation, yoga or simply activities that relax you. Relaxation reduces muscle tension and eases back pain. <\/p>\n\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

What is dynamic sitting?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Dynamic sitting means that the chair allows constant micro-movement of the body.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Instead of a static position, the body maintains a slight balance at all times, which activates the deep stabilising muscles.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This brings several benefits:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

– active back muscles– better posture– less pressure on the spine– more comfort when sitting for long periods of time<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is the principle on which SpinaliS works.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n

Why SpinaliS?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

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. <\/p>\n<\/div>\n\n
