GENERAL QUESTIONS
How often should I exercise with the SPINEFITTER by SISSEL®?
It has been shown that performing selected exercises every other day for 10 to 15 minutes is effective. Initially, 3 to 6 repetitions per exercise are optimal and sufficient; later, an increase to 8 to 10 repetitions is possible. In addition, you can do a 10-minute stretching session on the SPINEFITTER every day, combining light stretching exercises with lying on the multitool.

Do the different colours of the SPINEFITTER have a meaning (e.g. a different degree of hardness)?
All SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® colour variants have the same degree of hardness. The different colours are purely visual, so that you can choose the perfect colour for you. Whether anthracite, green, blue or purple, the SPINEFITTER is the right choice for your training.
Does the SPINEFITTER fit every back?
To provide you with optimal support, the SPINEFITTER must support both the sacrum and the head. This is almost always possible for people up to 180 cm in height. For taller users, there is also the SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® Extension Kit. The extension kit can be used to extend the SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® by 2 pairs of balls. This enables people up to 200 cm in height to lie optimally on the multitool and perform the exercises. Click here to go directly to the extension kit.
What do I do if I find the pressure on my head uncomfortable when using the SPINEFITTER?
If the neck muscles are very tense, the pressure of the balls on the back of the head may be felt as unpleasant. In this case, it helps to place a flat cushion or towel between the head and the balls. However, it must be removed during the Bridging exercise, however, it must be removed so as not to increase the pressure in the cervical spine.
Can I use the SPINEFITTER in bed or on the treatment bench?
Basically yes. Since the entire spine lies on the SPINEFITTER in the supine position, an additional soft surface is possible. This reduces the pressure of the balls on the back muscles somewhat, but at the same time the instability of the multitool increases. When the SPINEFITTER is positioned transversely, only positioning under the sacrum is possible, as otherwise stronger levers will act if the support surface is too soft.
Does the SPINEFITTER replace a fascia roller?
No. The SPINEFITTER by SISSEL® is an alternative to the fascia roller. It has a different mode of action, but can be used for the same purposes as a fascia roller. Its pressure is punctual and not flat, which can be better processed in the tissue and reflexively in the movement control. Due to the high-quality material chosen (fully expanded PU foam), the Multitool is much more flexible and supple than most fascia rollers. The structure adapts to the spine much better than conventional fascia rollers, which means that the intervertebral joints can be optimally mobilised.
