​Current knowledge of sitting health

Because of the gap in the middle of the seat there is no uncomfortable pressure on the genital area, and thus no need to turn the pelvis away from the pressure. That would result in a slouched sitting position where the back is rounded. The healthy posture can now be obtained easily and maintained during the whole day. The gap enhances both genital and internal pelvic health.

Salli cooperates with a Finnish book publisher

Salli Systems is developing the world’s healthiest sitting concept and manufacturing related furniture. The concept is based on two-part Salli Saddle Chairs and wide knowledge of ergonomics. The Finnish publishing house VK-Kustannus has been publishing professional textbooks since 1978. The cooperation of these two health-conscious operators has started really well.

​Back pain is a global epidemic

Back pain is the most common cause of sick leaves, over 540 million people suffer from lumbar spine problems. When sitting in old-fashioned chairs there is a 90 degree angle in the hips. The disks are pushed together at the front and the muscles of the back are constantly stretched. This causes poor circulation, weakens the muscles and increases the risk of lumbago and ruptured disk.

Can I sit and stay healthy?

Lots of studies have been made about the dangers of sitting. The focus has been only on conventional 90/90 sitting (hips and knees in 90 degree angles). The main health dangers come from decreased circulation of blood and lymph. The circulation is the main function of the body. Any long-term disturbance in it disturbs metabolism and weakens health.

Future super office

All the factors that boost well-being, productivity and energy will be realized in the future office, where productivity is easily 1.5 to 3 times better than in the traditional office. The good posture that is the basis of well-being and efficiency is achieved by sitting on a two-part swinging saddle chair, and standing for a third of the working time, about 20 minutes at a time.

​Salli chairs keep those hips moving!

Everyone would benefit from paying attention to the functioning of their spine and hips. It is not only important to train hard, it is just as important to think how you move and recover between the training sessions. I sit on a Salli chair, thus I can keep my spine in a good position, with some hip mobility exercises to keep myself moving and grooving even as I am working at my Salli workstation.
