Spine-friendly sitting is not just a matter of comfort, it has a direct impact on our health, productivity and overall well-being. Did you know that the wrong choice of chair can lead to chronic back pain, increased stress and reduced concentration? The chair you sit on in the office is not just a piece of furniture, it is a support for your health throughout the working day.   <\/p>&#13;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spinalis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Pisarniski-stol-spinalis-pilot-ob-njem-stoji-punca.jpg\" alt=\"A girl standing next to the Pilot office chair in black\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1666\"\/><\/p>&#13;\n<h2>The important link between healthy posture, comfort and productivity at work<\/h2>&#13;\n<p>A largely sedentary lifestyle has detrimental effects on the health of the spine, which are sooner or later reflected in pain and poor posture. Employees in jobs that require sedentary work also suffer from poorer concentration, as the constant fitting of the body to an unsuitable chair and the pain hamper their concentration and productivity. <\/p>&#13;\n<p>Correct sitting posture means that our spine, neck and head are in a natural and balanced position. This not only reduces the risk of back pain or neck tension, but also allows for better blood circulation and a more efficient supply of oxygen to the brain, which is crucial for good concentration at work. Uncomfortable sitting causes stress to the body, which manifests itself in both physical and mental tension.  <\/p>&#13;\n<h3>Dolgotrajno delo za ra\u010dunalnikom brez ustreznih ergonomskih standardov lahko torej privede do:<\/h3>&#13;\n<ul>&#13;\n<li>Manj kisika v plju\u010dih in drugih organih<\/li>&#13;\n<li>Slab\u0161e oskrbe mo\u017eganov s kisikom, kar zmanj\u0161uje produktivnost<\/li>&#13;\n<li>Pomanjkanja motivacije<\/li>&#13;\n<li>Pove\u010dane utrujenosti<\/li>&#13;\n<li>Zmanj\u0161ane koncentracije<\/li>&#13;\n<li>Ve\u010d napak pri delu<\/li>&#13;\n<\/ul>&#13;\n<p>On a daily basis, this situation is bound to increase stress and the risk of various diseases.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>The key to managing the effects of prolonged sitting is to include physical activity in your daily schedule. Small changes such as walking <strong>during breaks, taking the stairs instead of the lift or working at a standing desk can<\/strong> make a big difference to <strong>your<\/strong> health and well-being at work. But <strong>maintaining good posture while sitting<\/strong> is also <strong>essential<\/strong> to reduce strain on the spine and prevent back problems. This can only be achieved with <strong>a good quality, ergonomically designed chair that mimics active sitting.<\/strong>    <\/p>&#13;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spinalis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Moska-sedita-pisarniskih-stolih-spinalis-navigator.jpg\" alt=\"Two men sitting on Navigator office chairs\" width=\"2500\" height=\"1667\"\/><\/p>&#13;\n<h2>Active sitting &#8211; less sickness absence<\/h2>&#13;\n<p>Long periods of sitting, often in unsuitable chairs, forces the body into an unnatural position, leading to poor posture, discomfort and pain. The load on the spine in general is already highest in the sitting position, which is particularly detrimental if the posture is incorrect. <\/p>&#13;\n<p>Add to that the combination of modern lifestyles and lack of exercise, which weakens muscles, and our spine is even more susceptible to injury and degenerative changes. Did you know that <strong>back problems<\/strong> are <strong>one of the most common reasons for sickness absence<\/strong>? <\/p>&#13;\n<p>Whether from the employer&#8217;s or the employee&#8217;s point of view, sick leave does not benefit either. It is therefore essential that the workplace is equipped with chairs that allow active <strong>sitting and healthy posture.<\/strong> As a result of years of development and know-how, our professional ergonomic office chairs offer you exactly that!  <\/p>&#13;\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.spinalis.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/foto-desktop-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1000\" height=\"1200\"\/><\/p>&#13;\n<h2>SpinaliS office chair &#8211; what makes it different<\/h2>&#13;\n<p>SpinaliS chairs can therefore radically change the working experience by ensuring <strong>healthy posture and comfort<\/strong>, resulting in <strong>increased productivity and good mood at work<\/strong>.<\/p>&#13;\n<p>SpinaliS ergonomic chairs are designed to mimic sitting on a fitness ball, allowing for so-called active <strong>sitting.<\/strong> Thanks to their revolutionary design, they ensure comfortable sitting without discomfort or fatigue, even when sitting for long periods of time. <\/p>&#13;\n<p>SpinaliS office chairs are unique in that they combine comfort with activity while sitting. This sitting position allows the chair to adapt to any movement of the spine, causing the back muscles and ligaments to take a greater share of the load. This active mechanism is also the reason for the feeling of muscle fatigue when starting to use the chair. Yes, you read that right &#8211; when you start using it, you will feel like you have been working out at work, and sitting down!   <\/p>&#13;\n<p>However, the SpinaliS chair also offers a relaxed way of sitting that still supports correct posture. The chair&#8217;s seat is designed in such a way that the user can choose between active and relaxed sitting by simply adjusting the position on the seat. <\/p>&#13;\n<p>Soon after you start using the chair, the initial pain from activating your back muscles will turn into a relaxed and healthy, active sitting experience that will reward you with less back pain and more productivity at work.<\/p>&#13;\n<h3>Ne podcenjujte vpliva, ki ga ima izbira pisarni\u0161kega stola na vsakdanje po\u010dutje.
