What you need to know

The Spinalyser system was developed in Switzerland and is widely used in hospitals and clinics all over the world, with over 60 units in UK hospitals.

Back in Action and The Back Shop are the UK importers and the Expertise Centre for the support of UK Clinicians that use Spinalyser in their practices.

Basic Information

The Spinalyser system applies the lightest of touches along your spine. It is non-invasive and has no side effects. It can be repeated regularly at any Back in Action Centre to evaluate your progress from treatment, exercise, back friendly furniture or from the Mobiliser.

The measurements take about 10 minutes. Results are displayed instantly and you and or a practitioner can be emailed the results.

The measurement is in three stages:

  1. normal standing posture
  2. curled forwards
  3. leaning backwards

The latter two movements are not severe, and you will be asked to limit your movement to what feels comfortable. Bend forward a few inches or down to the floor... either is fine for the test

What Clothing to Wear

The Spinalyser will be rolled gently, but very skilfully, along your spine from the nape of your neck to about three inches below belt level. (C7 to S3... technically speaking).

We can complete measurements while you remain clothed, but if so please wear clothes with very light seams and the lightest of fabric. A long top will allow you to lower your trouser top and preserve modesty while leaning forwards. Women must undo their bra strap under their clothing during the test.

Please note that clinical grade accurate measurements will only be obtained on bare skin, for that reason many clients will choose to remove top clothing, and some replace a shirt back to front. In that case we will make light marks on several points to more accurately guide the Spinalysers progress.

We use eye liner for the marks on your back which can be easily removed before your clothes make contact.
