The BellyChair is not a chair, but a piece of sports equipment.
We are not talking about sitting, but about training while sitting. The BellyChair offers dynamic sitting, activates the back muscles and, with regular use, ensures that the optimal support function of the back muscles can be restored. This relieves the spine and intervertebral discs, which helps regular users to literally "prevent" back problems.
The patented BellyChair forces the user into a sitting position in which he must activate his back muscles.
The developer of the "BellyChair" Marco Del Curto was at the end of his sporting career, his diagnosis: scoliosis and associated severe back pain. So he trained as an architectural draughtsman at a young age. Here he got used, rather intuitively, to a special working position, which should make it easier for him to work on the large drawing boards. However, Marco Del Curto no longer suffered from back pain or any other ailments. Del Curto attributed this to his adventurous working posture at the drawing board. For this he turned a chair and used it in reverse. This made his work easier – and obviously strengthened his back muscles, which then built up a supporting structure. However, many years were to pass before he came up with the idea of developing a product from his very specific experiences. Something completely new: a sports chair that enabled him to work and at the same time train his back muscles just by being in the chair.
Unique and patented.
The BellyChair is truly unique. No other chair system allows for a corresponding training while sitting.
Only the BellyChair enables the active use of the back muscles during work. This makes the BellyChair an effective component in workplace health promotion.
There are many reasons for companies to deal with the topic of workplace health promotion. More and more people have their workplace in the office. Meanwhile, over 80% of German employees sit at least 6 hours a day – and that makes them sick in the long run. You can find out how the BellyChair can help you here.

Correct sitting is not easy to learn. But the BellyChair does not allow anything else! The BellyChair uses its unique geometry to directly activate the back muscles. By bending forward slightly, similar to a bicycle, the body is brought into an active position. The feet and parts of the abdomen and hips slightly support the upper body. This creates an ideal imbalance, which the body compensates for by tensing the back muscles, especially in the lumbar region.

However, in the home environment, all the requirements of the employers' liability insurance associations are completely negated. Very few people who work in a home office have an ergonomically ideal office chair. As a result, the correct working posture is rarely or never achieved here. At home, too, the focus should remain on the back, precisely because back problems do not distinguish between the official workplace and the home office workplace.

We sit too much! In the long run, this will be on the back, because without training, no back muscles, and this is important to keep the function of the spine going. Back pain is the number one widespread disease – interestingly, it is longer, more frequent and more intense in women than in men. More people in Europe go to the doctor for "back" than for high blood pressure or flu. However, almost 90% of back pain is "non-specific", which means that no definitive cause can be found, despite expensive and complex examinations..
