Despite ongoing research, a definitive cure for scoliosis has yet to be discovered. Current treatments focus on managing symptoms and mitigating curvature progression. Conservative approaches such as physiotherapy and bracing aim to enhance posture, strengthen back and core muscles, alleviate pain, and impede curve advancement.
Chairs lacking adequate support or posture management may exacerbate spinal strain and discomfort, undermining efforts to manage scoliosis symptoms effectively.

Project "a spine-friendly school" was 5 years long practical research about active sitting with school children, with one of the elementary schools in Ljubljana, Slovenia. Two school classes have been observed between 2006 and 2011. One class was equipped with the usual school chairs, while the second class had SpinaliS chairs designed for children sitting and working at the school.
The children were monitored annually by physiotherapists and orthopaedic surgeons. Their posture, back muscle strength and overall condition of the spine were checked. A psychotherapist also verified (through a video) the pupils’ concentration during school work. SpinaliS chairs also affect blood circulation and, consequently, the power of concentration. Video clips and psychological tests designed specifically for this project were performed once a year.
In the first and second year of the research, there were only differences in concentration and the ability to sit still since children in the first two years of school move a lot. Children sitting on SpinaliS chairs had sufficient movement on the chairs and were less restless and not getting up during class because they could swing and move while sitting. In the comparative class, there were more disturbances with rocking back and forth and more standing up. The results showed that concentration during tests and results were slightly better in the classroom with SpinaliS chairs since the first grade.
In the last comparison of the two classes, the differences were already very obvious: in the classroom with SpinaliS chairs back and abdominal muscles of the children were better developed, posture was better, and there were less overweight children in the class. Here is the Abstract from the Final Report of this research.
Doc. MUDr. Robert Rusnak, PhD, Neurosurgeon, Head of Neurosurgery Clinic Ruzomberok, Slovakia, Europe Expert Spine Friendly School project supervisor explains: "Every time when entering the operating room to confront frequently fatal outcomes, a persistent inquiry surfaced within my consciousness: "What is the root cause of these issues?" I am of the conviction that the primary issue lies in the absence of preventative measures. Consequently, I have chosen to align myself with a project whose core objective is the combat against spinal disorders. It is my steadfast belief that participation in this endeavor will yield significant advancements in this realm."
A good chair is essential for dentists and dental hygienists to maintain their well-being, productivity, and longevity in their profession. It is a critical tool in preventing the back pain and musculoskeletal issues that can result from the physical demands of dental work.
Prolonged Sitting: Dentists spend long hours sitting while treating patients, which can place a significant strain on their backs. A good chair provides proper support to the lower back, reducing the risk of developing chronic back pain.
Ergonomics: A well-designed dental chair is ergonomic, meaning it is adjustable to fit the dentist's body and working style. Proper ergonomics help maintain a neutral posture, reducing the stress on the spine and muscles.
Patient Care: Dentists need to work in close proximity to their patients, often leaning forward. A comfortable chair allows dentists to get close to patients without straining their backs.
Position Changes: Dental procedures often require the dentist to shift positions frequently. A good chair supports these adjustments, reducing the risk of awkward posture and associated back pain.
Spinal Health: Prolonged poor posture and lack of support can lead to spinal problems and chronic pain. A quality chair promotes better spinal health by providing the necessary support and maintaining natural spinal alignment.
Adjustability: Chairs with adjustable features, such as seat height, backrest angle, and lumbar support, enable dentists to customize their seating for optimal comfort and spinal health.
Fatigue Reduction: An ergonomic chair can help reduce fatigue, allowing dentists to focus on patient care without being distracted by discomfort or pain.
Productivity: Comfortable dentists are more productive. They can work efficiently and with greater focus when they are not distracted by back pain.
Long-Term Health: Back pain is a common occupational hazard for dentists. By investing in a good chair, dentists can protect their long-term health and potentially extend their careers without suffering from chronic pain or injury.
My name is Deanna. I'm a registered dental hygienist; so, I spend a lot of my day sitting, long hours working on patients. It is very important to have a proper chair.
I got a lot of shoulder pain, a lot of back pain, and the hips; therefore, it is very important to sit up straight to have that correct alignment of the spine. With the SpinaliS chair, I can do that and still have a good range of motion working around the patient. I have been practicing as a registered dental hygienist for the last six years. I definitely start feeling affect on the body.
The biggest problem I have with my profession is maintaining proper posture, maintaining my own health, my back, neck, shoulders, and all that. All the other hygienists talk about it as well. It is really important to focus on proper ergonomics, it is part of having the proper equipment to work with you know.
And how am I a proof that this active SpinaliS Chair is a game changer for our profession? Since I am using it, didn't have to go to see my chiropractor ever more. Investing in our spine health, in a form of an essential equipment of our workplace it is definitely worth it!

"A poorly formed spine in childhood will cause problems in adulthood!"
It is extremely important to choose the right chair for children. It is just as important for small kids as for school-aged children and students who often spend more time sitting on a chair in front of the computer.
The main physical development of a child is up to the age of fourteen, and incorrect sitting causes damage to the musculoskeletal system, which cannot be reversed when growth is completed. The problem is that children's back muscles remain passive and are weakening as a result of prolonged sitting. Not to mention that kids aren't actually sitting on the chair; instead, they're waging, squatting, kneeling, or swinging, so the chair's ergonomic design isn't really the most important feature. Nevertheless, active sitting on a posture-correcting chair with a movable seat on a spring is the cure for preventing muscular imbalance, back pain, and natural child "restlessness. This is because the seat on a spring follows all the body movements. It tilts forward and to the sides whenever the child moves, thereby engaging the back and core muscles. The SpinaliS chair is not only a cure for back pain, but I see it as important prevention of obesity and poor posture!
Ensure your children active sitting on a SpinaliS chair and prevent back problems. It is an investment that you will never regret!
Tina Rutar Leban, B.A. in Psychology, Educational Research Institute
SpinaliS kids chairs give kids the chance to move in a novel, more engaging ways than they are accustomed to when they sit in regular chairs. Thus, it allows them to switch from playing to academic work while still having fun.
"I fully support SpinaliS and keep my fingers crossed that more and more kids will have an active chair soon."
SpinaliS offers Chairs for children in multiple colours. They can also be customized to fit your child's favourite design or style.
Learning is a challenging cognitive process that takes a lot of energy. A known fact is that sufficient muscle activity during learning contributes to better focus and concentration, while too much or too little muscle tension and strain cause drowsiness or excessive fatigue. SpinaliS helps children maintain proper posture while sitting, allowing appropriate muscle activity. It prevents excessive muscle fatigue due to the burden of the muscles. While sitting on a SpinaliS, the child remains focused for a longer time, more attentive while learning, and getting used to doing their schoolwork in an easier, faster, and more playful way.
Doc. MUDr. Robert Rusnak, Ph.D., Neurosurgeon, Head of Neurosurgery Clinic Ruzomberok, Slovakia, Europe
"Every day, when I was entering the operating room to try to deal with chronic spine issues of young people, one question would pop up on my mind: "what is the cause of those problems?" I believe that the key problem is the lack of prevention, so I have decided to become a part of a project whose mission is to prevent spinal disorders. I firmly believe that it's the right thing to do!"

Chairs for Active Sitting to Improve Posture, Strengthen Core, and Relieve Back Pain!
If you are asking the question: "What should I get my husband for Christmas this year? " or "Where to find the best Christmas gift for my wife?" keep reading, and lets' discover some new Christmas gift ideas.
Wait - but can an office chair make a good Christmas gift? It surely can! A luxury and thoughtful Christmas gift for your man!
If you are asking the question: "What should I get my husband for Christmas this year? " or "Where to find the best Christmas gift for my wife?" keep reading, and lets' discover some new Christmas gift ideas.
Wasn't it easier when we believed in Santa, who would deliver the Christmas Magic right to our living room? Well, Christmas is not only for children. Even at the adult age, we still like enjoying Christmas time. So, most of us try to find that "Unique Christmas gift for husband" or "Perfect gift for wife" that will last and please our partner for many years.
The question most of us are thinking about is:
You're probably thinking he already has everything he needs, so it's hard to come up with new Christmas gift ideas! You searched the internet and Amazon for Top Christmas Tips but haven't found anything that would stand out or catch your eye. Spinalis will help you think this through.
Ok, so we want something practical that doesn't end up in the closet or storage with last Christmas gifts. Let's start by analyzing his everyday needs. You can get him some cosmetics (you might even know better than he does what's good for him). It just doesn't feel like a new or original Christmas gift, but something he will expect to get again. On the other hand, you don't want to buy him electronics because you don't understand which he would appreciate the best. No one enjoys standing in the after-holiday lineups in return windows, so don't even think about Man Cave tools. A Perfect Christmas Gift should be something more personal, something for him and nobody else! Wouldn't it be perfect to find an ideal gift that would relieve the stress of his workload and help improve his physical health? However, do you remember that massage device from a few years ago, not sure where it ended up? Or that last Christmas gift, a stationary bike that somehow transformed into a coat hanger?
Let's start over and try to think - is there "a thing" that he uses most of the day and could work better for him? Sure, we are not buying him a new car, and he may have just gotten a new iPhone recently. Sportswear sounds fun, but honestly, all he is doing is sitting all day at work, hunched over his desk and staring into his computer. At the end of the day, he is so tired that thinking about some sport or activity means watching it on TV. We can't do much about that, can we? Maybe we can!
If only there were an office chair that would keep him fresh, engage his (more or less) weak core, improve his posture and help him feel less tired afterwards!
Perhaps, his core can get stronger without him stepping a foot in a gym or even knowing about it. Could his poor posture still improve over time so he doesn't develop more serious back issues in the future?
Wait - but can an office chair make a good Christmas gift? It surely can! A luxury and thoughtful Christmas gift for your man!
Especially if it is a stylish ergonomic office chair that would perfectly fit his body height and weight. And, what if it comes in his favourite colour? Navy blue, dark blue, red, burgundy red, green, orange, lime green, brown or white? That sounds like something worth checking out!
If there was a Christmas Gift for your husband that would help him have his job done faster, be more energetic, and feel no back pain, then what could that be? A high-quality office chair developed by engineers and health experts to improve posture, engage the core and relieve back pain? Chairs manufactured in Europe with a steel frame and upholstered by top-quality Italian fabric that lasts at least 20 years?
I guess you really should check that out! Is your husband's profession primarily an office worker? Or, is he a doctor, dentist, musician, or artist?
Find the best fitting chair for him right now here
So, where do we start? Does she really already have everything she needs? Please start thinking about things she uses every day.
You don't want to buy her makeup because you think she already has that. Could perfume or perhaps underwear do? Seriously, again? Don't even waste your time thinking about kitchen tools and devices. The best Christmas Gift should be something more personal, something for her and nobody else! Maybe, she already gave you a clue. If only you would listen to all she says. Perhaps, you could think about something that makes her work harder or makes her feel tired, and how you could improve that.
Is there a way you could make a part of her day more bearable and pleasant? For example, does your wife spend her day in the office or home office? Does she have a desk job or works as a doctor, dentist, musician, or artist? Would you like her to feel less tired, more energetic, and without a sore back and neck? I know what you are thinking - she may not have any more spare time to join a fitness club or yoga classes.
Did you know that any office worker with a sedentary job (accountant, office manager, dentist, artist) can feel less tired and more energetic by using an active sitting SpinaliS Chair at their workplace? SpinaliS chairs offer various designs and sizes to fit your home office design and help your back during all those Zoom Calls!
Particularly if it is a stylish ergonomic office chair that would perfectly fit her body size and match her office design. What if it comes in her favourite colour? Light Blue, Yellow, Lime Green, Pink, Purple, Burgundy Red, Orange, Beige, or White?
That might be worth checking out! What do you think?
Let's see how to pick the best fitting office chair for any body type and workplace. Take this short Quiz and discover the shortlist of options; this will show you the suitable chair models. Now, all you have to do is figure out her favourite colour and order it online so that she can get it on time for Christmas!

Learn more about SpinaliS Chairs and where you can try them here:This article will cover the top 3 common causes of lower back pain and how an active office chair can help you in your quest to relieve it.
1) Prolonged sitting
2) Lifting heavy objects (regularly)
3) Pregnancy
You can develop serious health issues by all-day-long passive sitting in an inappropriate chair. The back is made up of a complex system of bones, muscles, and ligaments that work together to support the body and keep it upright. This system is vulnerable to injury and pain, particularly in the lower back. If you spend 5+ hours of your day glued to your office chair, you might already be feeling lower back pain. Some people don't realize that their computer chair relates to their back problems. Most people are aware that back muscles are essential for supporting the spine. However, many people don't realize that weak back muscles can actually be dangerous for your spine condition. When back muscles that shall support the spine are weak, they can't provide adequate support for the spine. This can lead to a number of problems, including chronic back pain, irreversible changes in your spine, such as spinal disc herniation, and even nerve damage. That's why it's so important to keep your back muscles strong and healthy. An active ergonomic office chair will help you to strengthen your back and core muscles and relieve the lower back pain.
When it comes to office chairs and lower back pain, there is no one-size-fits-all solution. However, active sitting chairs are becoming increasingly popular as they offer many health benefits. Active sitting chairs encourage a more upright posture, which helps take pressure off the spine and spinal discs. Additionally, active sitting chairs promote a greater range of motion, helping to keep the body active and engaged throughout the day. So if you feel physically exhausted after a long day in the office, that's yet another sign that passive sitting is taxing on your body and that active sitting could improve your focus and performance.
Finally, many health professionals such as chiropractors, osteopaths, and physiotherapists advise people with lower back pain to use active sitting chairs to relieve back pain and promote spinal health.
Derek Kyle, a CAMPT Certified Physiotherapist from Squamish, BC, is passionate about simple, effective treatments that can be evaluated and proven in each assessment or treatment session. His advice for lower back pain PREVENTION and TREATMENT is as follows:
"ACTIVE SITTING on SpinaliS Active Sitting Office Chairs can eliminate the significant decrease' in lumbar disc height after a day of sitting." I've been using the SpinaliS chair in my office for almost five years now, after undergoing rehabilitation from a half-dozen personal orthopedic surgeries. As a result, I've had the opportunity to recognize the importance of active sitting for myself, and I believe it's the best investment I've ever made in my back.
he following are the top three advantages of SpinaliS Active Sitting Chairs:
You may have heard of the term "active sitting," but what does it mean? Simply put, active sitting is a way of sitting that engages your core muscles and back muscles in order to support the upper body and help you maintain good posture. So it's the opposite of passive sitting and slouching in the chair.
You can only sit actively in an office chair that has been designed for active sitting. SpinaliS Active Sitting Chairs have a seat on the spring that allows for rocking and tilting in all directions.
The health benefits of active sitting are numerous. To start, it helps to improve posture and prevent slouching. Additionally, it helps to strengthen the back muscles, which are responsible for supporting the spine. Active sitting can also help to improve circulation and increase oxygenation of the blood. And last but not least, it can help to reduce overall fatigue and tension. In short, active sitting is a great way to promote good health and well-being.
When you stand, the pressure on your spinal discs is minimal. But when you sit down on an office chair with a fixed seat (or dining chair, car seat, or sofa..), the pressure on your spinal discs rises. Firstly, your entire upper body weight rests on your spinal discs, particularly in the lumbar region. Secondly, while seated in a chair, the pressure also comes from below your pelvis. The discs in your lower back take the brunt of the damage. However, when you sit upright in the SpinaliS Chair with your back and core muscles engaged, the pressure on your spinal discs is reduced by 75%. That is why you feel relief while sitting on SpinaliS chair.
SpinaliS active chairs come in various styles, sizes, colours, and designs. These chairs were created with the user in mind. There are chairs for petite people, tall people, children, students, and chairs for people who work from home. However, other professions such as dentists, beauticians, and musicians are also affected.To find the best model for you, make sure your chair comfortably supports your body weight and height. There are different chair variants for short person or tall person.
This quick QUIZ will assist you in determining which model is the best fit for you.
Do you have a weak core? A flabby belly and weak back muscles are the most common symptoms of weak core muscles. Don't worry. We have a solution for you too! SpinaliS chairs weren't made for people who were perfectly healthy and fit. The health experts who designed this chair in Europe 20 years ago were looking for a way to use the time spent sitting to become stronger rather than weaker.
So, now you know that active sitting is not only good for your posture and reducing back pain but can also boost your overall health. Who knew that something as simple as active sitting could be so beneficial? Are you ready to make the switch to active sitting and see all of the amazing health benefits it has to offer? Contact us for a quote. We hope you'll give active sitting a try in your home or office.
Takeaway:
An ergonomic active sitting chair for lower back pain can give you a great deal of relief. Active sitting also leads to better posture, reduced pain and overall health. Don't hesitate to spend your money on a good chair that will last for years.

"I spent many years looking hard for the best home office chair for my condition to relieve my back pain and knee pain. I am very happy I found SpinaliS."
My Medical Profile:
I have deteriorating discs, two of which are pinched, spinal rheumatoid arthritis and scoliosis. I had a knee replacement, which has caused chronic pain. My neck and shoulders are becoming increasingly tight, which also contributes to chronic pain.
My Problem with most office chairs:
TRIAL OBSERVATIONS NOTES by Carolyn:
January 3rd - Total time spent in the chair: 3 hours
Once I chose my favoured SpinaliS model in the showroom, the Apollo and sat in it while I tried it out for at least 25 minutes. As I immediately stood up, I noticed that I wasn't stiff or in pain like I usually would be, and I stood up effortlessly.
January 4th - Total time spent in the chair: 5 hours
I'm feeling my energy level increasing. I notice a slight reduction in the tension in my neck and shoulders. Again now sitting for a couple of hours in a row. I have no problem standing up. It's a smooth transition versus jerky and painful.
January 5th - Total time spent in the chair: 6 hours
With my chronic pain diminishing even a little, I'm feeling mentally brighter and my attitude more positive. My knee pain seems to be decreasing.
January 6th - Total time spent in the chair: 6 hours 30 minutes
I think it is best to build up my time in the chair gradually, and if feeling tired, to get up and take a break or stretch. I would not usually be sitting more than 2 1/2 hours without taking a break in any office situation. I do find the seat cushion firm and voiced my observations to SpinaliS. They assured me that the seat has a firm foam inside that softens with time (as I could feel on the showroom chairs).
January 7th - Total time spent in the chair: 3 hours 45 minutes
I'm noticing that my back is erect when sitting at the computer, my knees are in about 100-degree position, and my feet are flat on the floor. This is the first computer chair that has fitted my petite body perfectly. All the computer chairs I've sat on before were too tall for me.
January 8th - Total time spent in the chair: 4 hours 45 minutes
Because my pain is diminishing, I'm finding myself in a happier mood in general.
January 9th - total time spent in the chair: 2 hours 25 minutes
Compared to my old home office chair, I now find myself sitting really erect versus hunched over. I like that I can sit back any time and take a break from any motion whatsoever. My knee replacement is far more flexible in just one week's trial.
CONCLUSION: I'm looking forward to seeing my doctors tell them and show them the huge changes in my spine and my ability to walk. I am so happy I have invested in SpinaliS! Thank you!
Carolyn ended up ordering her SpinaliS Apollo Chair in the Dark Green Colour that fits nicely with her home office design! Thank you, Carolyn, for your detailed SpinaliS Chair Review! We are happy that you found the best chair for your home office!
Like Carolyn, many people are looking for the best chair for home office for retired people. At a certain age, we start to understand that we only have one spine for life. We have to take good care of our spine to keep it healthy and functional, which is why the correct spine posture is so important while sitting. Poor posture, lower back pain, weak core are consequences of sitting down hunched over our desk. The good news is that it's never too late to change that.
Numerous Health Specialists who were a part of the SpinaliS development team were looking for a permanent solution for people with Back Pain, Weak Core and other issues. In 1999, in Europe, they designed the first SpinaliS Active Chair. This chair has been an efficient tool to use the time you are sitting to make your core stronger instead of weaker and improve your posture.
Warren P., Vancouver
After many years of looking at all kinds of office chairs and sitting in the wrong ones, which started to make my lower back hurt, I needed a solution. I understood the importance of good Spinal Posture and wanted a chair to help me work for long hours without discomfort. I searched online specifically for chairs that were geared towards spinal care. I came across the Spinalis Active Sitting Chairs and thankfully found them locally here in Vancouver. I visited with Janette, who was very knowledgeable and helpful. She sat me in several chairs and helped me make the final selection of the Spider model. I've been using this Spinalis active chair for many months now. My lower back discomfort is gone, and I no longer have to use the extra kneeling chair I purchased. Go to try the chairs. It's one of the best investments for my health in a very long time!
Magda and Christian, Montreal
We first tried the SpinaliS chair on the trade show and have thought about it since. We decided to purchase one chair for our son, who had back problems, although much younger than us! The service was excellent. The chair was shipped just in time for his birthday. Then we bought another SpinaliS chair for our home office, and I found it GREAT. I never had an active sitting chair like this. It is really useful to avoid sitting in an improper position. This chair fixes you no matter what. The movement of this chair had eased the tension and my lower back while still allowing me to continue to work long hours. Soon, I decided that my wife should have her own chair too! The only regret: we should have bought them a long time ago. They seem a little bit expensive BUT you should consider the money you would spend on treatments for your back without it when making your decision. The chairs fit quite nicely in our very small home office, and they are very comfortable. Recently, we ended up buying the 4th Spinalis chair for our son's wife for her birthday, and she loves it. Warning: It's hard to sit in any other chair after you experience this active and back pain-free sitting.

October is Spine Health Awareness Month. October 16th of each year.
World Spine Day is celebrated on every continent.
This year, the World Spine Day theme for 2021 is BACK 2 BACK!
We all know that good spine health is important. Our spines serve as the support system for our whole body, and we need to strengthen these muscles to keep it strong. To understand we should consider our spine health, or have better spinal health awareness. We should try to understand the structure of our spine. We have spinal erector muscles all the way up the spine. It's best to strengthen the erector muscles, we will create more support for our spine from our pelvis up to our neck.
As per strengthening these muscles through exercise, the fitness coaches often like to suggest doing planks or side planks. The biggest enemy of your spine is poor posture from sitting for long hours. Sitting still for extended periods can cause bad posture, which can lead to a host of problems.
If you feel pain in your lower back while sitting down, it's likely your back muscles are not doing their job.If you feel lower back pain while sitting or standing for a prolonged period of time, your spinal muscles need attention.
The core is the torso. The major muscles of the core are in the belly area and the mid and lower back (not the shoulders). These strong muscles in your back help to extend and flex your spine.
Without a strong core, it's difficult to maintain posture. A weak core makes it really difficult to maintain a good posture because you tend to slouch. A strong core will improve proper posture which will improve spine health
If you're not feeling any back pain, does that mean you're okay? Not necessarily. We only have one spine for life, and it's important to care for it from the beginning. When we feel pain in our backs it's a signal that we've waited too long to prevent an injury. Protecting your spine from the beginning is the best way to prevent issues in the future.
Engaging your core is a necessary part of a healthy lifestyle. Imagine if you could engage your core without thinking much about it. Spinalis active sitting chairs are chairs that create better posture and Core strength. The chairs promote a straight back and engage the core, increasing health and posture.
Based on many clinical trials, a large number of Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Osteopaths and other Health Professionals recommend SpinaliS active chairs to their clients and patients as a suitable tool for the prevention and treatment of spine problems. As per ergonomist experts’ opinions, the most spine-friendly chairs? As per the opinions of spine experts (Chiropractors, Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists, Osteopaths and other Health Professionals) a number of clinical trials and other research show that SpinaliS active sitting chairs are highly recommended for the prevention and treatment of back problems.

Take our quick QUIZ now and find the best fitting one for you today!
INTRO: My name is Sujoy R,. I purchased three active chairs: SpinaliS (Hacker), Swopper (Air) and CoreChair in order to resolve my lower back pain and Sciatica issues. I had purchased Swopper and CoreChair in November 2016. Since I was not satisfied with either, after conducting more research
I ended up purchasing SpinaliS in January 2017. This review is based on my own experience in terms of how useful I found them for my specific back issues.
In terms of overall functionality, ergonomic design and ease of use, I would rank the 3 chairs in the order:
1. SpinaliS
2. Swopper
3. CoreChair
In addition to its active features, SpinaliS functions like a regular office chair with a full backrest and an adjustable armrest. The backrest has a bit of flexibility in that it swivels on a left-right horizontal axis to align itself with the user’s back contours. While the armrests are not detachable, at the lowest position they do not get in the way of typing on a keyboard. This makes it a great candidate for both office and home use.
Firstly, I believe that a backrest is necessary in order to be comfortable while sitting for long periods of time. While Swopper does have an optional backrest that can be purchased separately, the backrest does not rotate along with the seat. Therefore, the chair needs to be repositioned every time one is switching positions on an L-shaped desk. Secondly, the design of the chair makes it a bit awkward to get on and off. Lastly, the design may look out of place in an office setting. Swopper should be considered by those whose back issues are not fixed by SpinaliS, or those who may want a second chair for their home.
I did not feel there is any key active feature in CoreChair where it performed better than the other two in terms of helping with my specific back issues, and therefore do not recommend it. One good feature in CoreChair is the contoured seat with a depression in the rear surface of the seat, which prevents the user’s tailbone from pressing against the seat. However, I still found myself slipping forward and had to keep pushing backward in order to be snug with the backrest. Also, the seat design makes it difficult to sit with the legs wide apart. Moreover, the backrest is a little too short for comfort.
The feature comparison grid shown below provides a side-by-side comparison of various features of these chairs.
The most important active feature common to all three chairs is the seat tilt. The tilt mechanisms and corresponding actions vary amongst the three and appear to target different muscle groups.
The tilt pivot on the SpinaliS chair is directly beneath the seat and is controlled by a spring attached to the bottom of the seat. The spring aids in bringing the chair seat back from the tilted position to the upright position once the tilting force exerted by the user is relaxed. While the seat can be tilted in any direction, the extent of the tilt depends on the user’s weight.
In Swopper chair, the tilt pivot is located at the bottom just above the floor and is controlled via a 3 dimensional movement element. The tilting action requires lateral movement and use of legs by the user for tilting. The movement element contains an elastic tilt ring that returns the chair to the upright position. While the seat can be tilted in any direction, backwards tilt on the Swopper is limited, as without the optional backrest there is a risk of the user falling over backwards. Also, the extent of the tilt in Swopper is user adjustable.
CoreChair the tilt mechanism is under the seat but does not use a spring, and requires more effort from the user to tilt to a different position with only little aid from the chair. It allows adjusting the extent of the tilt but even in the maximum position the tilt is not so smooth as on SpinaliS chair and the user has to initiate the move so I was still able to slouch in the seat. The backwards tilt is more limited than the forward and side tilt.
In SpinaliS chair, the spring that allows the tilt also allows vertical compression. In Swopper Chair a separate spring located between the tilt mechanism and the bottom of the seat controls seat compression. The SpinaliS provides more of a floating feel than a bouncing feel. There is no seat compression on the CoreChair as no spring is present.
In terms of helping with my specific back issues, I have mostly benefited SpinaliS Hacker Chair. SpinaliS chair helped me strengthen my lower back.
Also Swopper helped relieve issues on my right side, at least initially I used to feel my left lower back pain aggravated after sitting on it for a while. It feels stressful to sit on the Swopper for extended periods of time, likely due to the pressure the spring compression exerts upwards. On SpinaliS, there is no such pressure and it is easier to sit for long periods. At the beginning, I tent to use both SpinaliS chair and Swopper chair alternately, though over time I have gotten more comfortable with SpinaliS and spend more of my sitting time on it.
I did not find CoreChair to be of much help. I believe that having a spring mechanism is important, and the absence of it in the CoreChair renders it relatively ineffectual in remedying back issues.
When you say BEST OFFICE CHAIR each of us can imagine something different. From classic simple chairs, through attractively designed ones to completely modern ideas. There will be no problem choosing a chair that we like and that complements our interior at the same time. But which chair also meets the requirements of proper sitting? Here is where our problem begins. Based on my lifetime experience, I can tell you this:
There is no doubt that prolonged sitting causes health issues. Most often there is the chronic pain of the neck, back or lumbar area, sometimes leg numbness and tingling and even stomach problems. So we better look for a chair which relieves or rather eliminates these health issues.
Modern Ergonomic Chairs are better adapted to prolonged periods of sitting than standard basic office chairs, because they typically have many adjustments. Most of the users is missing the point of it though! Ergonomic Chairs have these adjustments because passive sitting in one position is not good for our body, so they give us the option to re-adjust them during the day. We actually should re-adjust them more then three times a day, in order to keep changing our body position. However, not many users actually are doing it. Most people adjust the chair once they purchase it and then keep it in the same position for many years. As such ergonomic effect is not working and they are not suitable for proper healthy all-day-long sitting!
If you are willing to take the responsibility and invest into back pain prevention, choose an active sitting chair with a movable seat. Active sitting chair will prevent you from poor posture and slouching.
SpinaliS Active Chairs for healthy posture have a movable seat on the spring, which emphasizes natural spine position and upright posture!
You need to engage core muscles in order to maintain balance while sitting on SpinaliS chairs. You don't need to worry, your brain will figure it out and make you intuitively use the right muscles to maintain balance and sit upright. Some people need a few days to adapt, which is well worth it.
In addition to the health benefits, SpinaliS chairs are different from the other chairs because of their unique design. They are not bulky and heavy but petit and effective. SpinaliS chairs are modern, unique chairs, that are adaptable for everyone. There is a choice of ten different models that accommodate different body types and are designed for different environments.

SPINALIS CANADA CHAIRS
Unique Chairs for Healthy Back and Great Posture
The human body was not designed for sitting long hours; therefore, regular chairs can cause spinal deformations that will result in unbearable back pain and a severe case of neck pain due to the unhealthy positioning of the head.
Actually, due to the statistics, 68% of North Americans are dealing with chronic back pain. While sitting on a chair with the fixed seat, an unhealthy and stiff sitting posture is the worst thing.

About Vancouver Pop Symphony
The Vancouver Orchestra Club was conceived back in 2008 around a small class of theory students. As an experimental project, Tom had a few of his students prepare an arrangement of a Christmas tune to be performed at the year-end recital. The song chosen for the assignment was "All I Want for Christmas is You."
The success of this endeavour sparked excitement from both students and parents, who asked for more ensemble performances. Tom arranged 4 more pieces including "Close Every Door to Me", "Time to Say Goodbye", and "You Raise Me Up" for the next performance.
Parents and students loved the pizzazz and flare that the ensembles added to traditional solo recitals. It was suggested that more rehearsals and a larger music selection would be welcome in leading up to the performance.
It became quickly apparent that both students and audiences enjoyed the "Popular" selections a great deal. By the start of the next school year in 2009, rehearsals were scheduled on a weekly basis.
Music was chosen by the participants of the group and was purchased through publishers rather than arranged. Instead of limiting the participants to just students, it was then opened up to any musician in the community and that's where we took on the name the "Vancouver Orchestra Club".
Our debut performance was held on June 20, 2010, where we featured our first symphony pop concert performing titles like "Phantom of the Opera" and "Pirates of the Caribbean".
Over the years we have gone full circle, touching all genres of music, from Disney's "Aladdin", the 2011 Grammy Award Winning "Baba Yetu", Broadway's "Fiddler on the Roof" to classical masterpieces like "William Tell Overture", and Dvorak's "New World" Symphony.
The VOC is a place where musical ideas can be expressed and valued, where members can enjoy a carefree environment to learn and make music. It is a place where we can put aside our cultural differences and come together for the joy of making music together. Through all the rehearsals, classes, and performances, you will meet many people and make numerous friends and heart-warming memories along the way.

Unique Chairs for Active Sitting to Eliminate Back Pain and Improve Posture
The right choice of the chair is very important. So, how to choose a good office chair considering healthy and active sitting? After consulting prof. Janko Popovic, PhD- MD.
we picked out four basic criteria to answer this question for you: “Will the chair of my choice help me eliminate my back pain or not?”
For most people, more time is spent on a chair than in their bed. We spend long hours sitting, and therefore don’t exercise or engage in other physical activities enough. Bear in mind that our bodies were not designed for sitting in a single position for a very long time. So, what can be done?
Statistics of chronical disorder reveal the consequences of lengthy sitting. Every second inhabitant of Europe is already facing chronic back pain caused by irreversible spine injuries mostly due to improper sitting. The number of patients, adults and children as well, is growing exponentially.
And this situation demands improvement. If you’ve got back pain – we have some good news for you: there is a special chair on the market helping you to do away with your troubles. It’s all about the therapeutic chair with its primary task to eliminate the pain in your back.
In the past, there were only office chairs offering passive sitting. The focus was only on the position of the body when sitting. We depended only on the basis of ergonomics, which was founded merely on maintaining the right angle of the elbows and the knees. Up-to-date therapeutic chairs advance active sitting, which is based upon free movement of the body. This is achieved by the movable seat of the office chair.
The seat should be movable in all directions to permit the movement of your pelvis. It’s specifically the pelvis that is the starting point of movement for the whole body. According to prof. Janko Popovic, PhD, M.D., from the medical point of view movement of the body, is the key to prevention.
Even if you are already facing any spine difficulties, they could be eliminated by proper movement and exercise. More facts of the importance of exercise for healthy living will be addressed later on in the text.
However, please note that at this point we are not dealing with a medical chair, but we’re discussing the benefits of a therapeutic office chair. That is to say, that medical chairs are not furnished with a firm seat and thus do not advance body movement in all directions.
Both armrests and back support should be firm and independent from the motion of the seat. This is the only way to get sufficient support and the appropriate position of the spine while sitting. Never choose a chair that provides a movable seat, with movable armrests and movable back support.
If he is the case, we can no longer talk about the movement of the pelvis alone; this would be merely balancing the whole upper part of the body, including the head. Sitting on a previously mentioned chair is not effective. It doesn’t contribute to toning and strengthening the back muscles, as it strengthens only the legs, which results in uneven strain on back muscles, thus causing risk to the spine.
To be certain of the beneficial effects of a medical device, the quality of the chair should be confirmed by at least two independent professional institutions. The chair should come with the certificate of clinical evaluation for a medical device.
Clinical evaluation is a fully practical procedure: for any product assuring a healing effect, the tests are run for several months. The procedure is carried out solely by physicians with the highest level of expertise – e.g. professors, senior lecturers or head physicians of corresponding department or clinic, respectively. These independent professionals have the expertise and experience to evaluate potential benefits of the chair to the human spine.
Many dealers or shops will claim they’re offering quality ergonomic chairs providing healthy sitting. The truth is, that health effects can be confirmed only by a physician who performs the aforementioned clinical evaluation of the chair. Therapeutic effects claimed only by a manufacturer, or – with no prior tests performed – claimed by a certain physician are nothing but a subjective opinion. Such statements provide no guarantee regarding healing effects for your spine.
After sitting the whole day long your body tells you if the chosen chair is suitable for you. You may need to choose a different model. People come of course in different sizes, i.e. different heights and weight. Therefore, it is good, if the manufacturer can offer various models of therapeutic chairs with the same effect for at least 5 different types of body figures.
Once you have decided for a really effective therapeutic chair, the salesperson will gladly offer you to test different chair models free of charge or obligation. Thus you can be sure that the company stands for its product and statements regarding the beneficial effects of the chair.

Our company did appear on Dragons’ Den to see if our posture-improving chairs will impress some of the country’s biggest investors.
SpinaliS Chairs are revolutionary chairs that have been improving the posture and overall health of those who work demanding desk jobs.
These chairs are made in Europe since 1999 and for last 10 years - ACTIVE SITTING - became a huge trend. Many people spend one third to one half of their productive age in a chair and still like to have a strong core, healthy spine and upright posture. SpinaliS, with a variety of chairs for different body types, has the solution for everyone! Wanna know, how did Dragons like it?
Watch SpinaliS Chairs - DRAGONS' DEN Pitch here:
CBC TV: Dragons Den Season 12, our episode was aired on February 20, 2018
“To be honest, to enter the Den, it requires a bit of courage. And what a surprise, as we stepped down to the Den and realized to be staying down there, while the six Dragons were sitting up on a stage, with lots of lights over their heads, so they looked like giants. We spent there about 30 minutes, but on TV you only see about five to seven minutes from each pitch, so you can imagine, there are many behind scenes shoots. Sometimes the Dragons are arguing with each other, but on TV it mostly doesn’t look so wild as it is in the reality.”
Be sure to watch our pitch to find out if SpinaliS gets the deal.

Hair styling can be so easy - Get a proper chair & stop slouching!
SpinaliS Stylist is suitable for hair stylists who are sitting while working, the main benefits are:
Dental Hygienists love sitting in the Stylist chair too!
SpinaliS chairs loosen the stiff neck
The moving seat “forces” you to straighten your back, have a correct head position and pull your shoulders back, reducing stress on the trapezoid muscles and loosening the stiff cervical spine.
The constant movement of the seat eliminates any possible blockage, thus relaxing a stiff neck.
SpinaliS chairs activate weak back and core muscles
The movable seat allows for body movement in all directions, so you are not forced to sit still – SpinaliS chairs encourage the involvement of all torso muscles, which leads to the strengthening of the back and abdominal muscles.
SpinaliS chairs reinforce deep stabilizing muscles
The stabilization of deep spinal muscles is all about strengthening muscles that stabilize the spine during all movements that we make. Deep stabilization plays an important role in protecting our spine against various loads and stress.
Taking care of your spine requires constant exercising of deep stabilizing muscles, which in the sitting position is possible only on a Swiss ball or on a healthy SpinaliS chair.
SpinaliS chairs remove pain in the lower back
The movable seat of SpinaliS chairs swings forward while you lean over your desk, thereby allowing the spine to bend forward resuming lumbar lordosis at all times. Lumbar lordosis is important for optimal placement of the lumbar vertebrae as they are wedge-shaped (higher in the front, lower in the back).
With the correct hip position, there is a substantial reduction of pressure on the vertebrae and intervertebral discs, which allows for effective pain relief.
In addition, the movable seat also reduces stress in the lower back, unlike in the case of chairs with fixed seats, which can make sitting quite painful.
