"One size" fits no one – everyone benefits from good posture!

Research clearly shows that a straight body position gives us benefits like more energy and better self-confidence! Research also shows that keeping the body stretched in a position of power such as being as tall and wide as possible, opening up the chest, and using body language and movements affects your hormones. Testosterone level increases, which gives self-confidence and security. At the same time, cortisol levels decrease, which reduces stress and anxiety. Poor posture, on the other hand, has the opposite effect. A good posture thus has a major impact on our mental and physical health and well-being.

Posture describes how different parts of the body relate to each other and is the position you take to keep upright against gravity while standing, sitting or lying. A good posture is a position where the weight is evenly distributed over the body, so that no part of the body is exposed to more strain than any other, just like a good building. An architect must have the gravity and weight distribution in mind when drawing a building, and just like a poorly-built building a body with bad posture will be less resistant to the external stress we face every day, month and year throughout life.

It's about sitting with straight back and holding your head like a straight extension of the spine. We should think that there is a straight line when seen from the side, from the ear and down through shoulder, hip and to the heel on the floor. In that position we are the strongest.

Most employers want positive and creative employees with a lot of energy, few sick leaves and good results. Salli makes this possible! How you sit makes a very big difference. Salli fits all jobs that are performed sitting, whether it is in a new modern activity-based, cellular and open offices, in industry and in the service sector. With Salli you can optimize your work environment and create behavioral changes that benefit both individuals and the company. With Salli one can simply sit to be healthier.

Salli SwingFit is a saddle chair with an ergonomic, two-part, width-adjustable seat for relaxed sitting in a half-standing position and balanced active sitting. The angle and shape of the seat make the pelvis protrude upward and hold up the spine and upper body naturally without muscle strain. The swing mechanism, the resistance of which can be adjusted, continuously gives activity and small movements that strengthen the core and back muscles, i.e. the postural muscles that work statically without you noticing it. You sit upright, in an active, healthy and balanced way; with ear, shoulder, hip and heel at the same vertical line, which gives good posture, ability to breathe deeper and good circulation throughout the day. There is no harmful pressure on the abdomen, which would make you bend away from it and then you end up sitting with your back rounded.
