Upright & Balanced Ltd Reviews 

I was diagnosed with a prolapsed disc - L4/5, which caused drop foot on my left side.

I went into hospital to have surgery but opted for the epidural spinal injection instead. This was partly successful for 6 months, then I had a relapse, this was as bad as the initial problem.

I really didn’t want surgery so was looking into alternative treatments, I felt desperate as I was in pain every day. Somebody at work recommended Karl at Newland Chiropractic and what a find that was.

I was a mess when Karl first saw me, he came into my workplace after my first appointment and looked at my work-station set-up. He loaned me a SpinaliS Chair to try out (a game changer for me) and told me to adjust the height of my desk. The first chair didn't quite work, so again Karl brought a different one in the range and that was perfect.

He helped me to understand how pain works within my body and how best to handle my condition. I am going for my 4th appointment soon, which I believe will be my last pre-booked appointment as I feel great, I will always go back at the slightest sign that something doesn't feel right.

My only regret is that instead of going for a sports massage in the first instance, I wish I had gone to see Karl, as I truly believe he would have prevented me having a prolapsed disc.

I can only thank him and his team for the 1st Class service that I received.

I've lost count of how many office chairs I've bought over the years, and every single one has left me with back pain after long working hours.
I decided to try something different and came across the SpinaliS Apollo active sitting chair. I was offered a trial before committing to buying it, which I really appreciated as I was worried it wouldn't be comfortable enough to sit on for a full day.
I was told there might be an adjustment period, but I felt the difference from day one. No more burning sensation up my spine and no stiffness. I'm also a chronic fidgeter, so I sit on my legs, shift around and slouch. Because the seat moves in all directions, I naturally find I don't need to fidget anymore. My back and my knees have both noticed.
The chair looks great too it's more compact than a normal office chair and the quality and feel of it is really good. I feel this chair has been an investment in my body. I will never go back to a standard office chair again.

I can highly recommend this chair and Karl at Upright and Balanced was really helpful with any advice and answering any questions.

After suffering with back pain for 5+ years in part as a result of spending many hours sat in front of a desk for work- my new chair is a life changer. Comfortable and practical- the ergonomic seat and movement has drastically reduced my pain and improved my comfort and efficiency whilst at work.

This chair has revolutionised my working life! The chair (SpinaliS Explorer) allows me freedom to move incrementally while sitting at my desk. It really encourages an upright posture and makes me use my core. I can sit in it all day without getting back/hip ache, although it did take me about 5 weeks to get used to it.

The team at Upright and Balanced kept in touch to make sure that I was happy with the chair. I would highly recommend both it and them.

I’ve been using the “Ergonomic” chair at my office for a year. As a chiropractor, I love the concept of dynamic sitting. I have been recommending the chairs to my patients.

Their SpinaliS chairs are designed to encourage continuous low-level muscle activation, which helps reduce the negative effects of prolonged static sitting.

The chair arrived the next day and Karl made contact to ensure we are happy with it and advise on how to use it correctly. Great service and really appreciate Spinalis being available in the UK.

The SpinaliS chair is amazing! I am a Podiatrist and it keeps my back and core strong 💪 I would recommend to any professional looking after theirselves to purchase!! Thank you 🙏
