Salli Saddle chairs provide a great solution to work in a good posture, as well as reducing tissue (and genital) pressure while sitting due to its split design.
Genital pressure from some saddle chairs can cause you to modify the way you sit, compromising your posture and reducing their effectiveness.
Like any tool at your disposal as a dental professional, it is important to use your chair correctly to get the best results. Here are some quick hints to help you achieve sitting happiness in a challenging environment!
When you first start sitting on a Salli Saddle Chair
In the beginning you might feel a little discomfort, because your body has old patterns of rigidity that need to relax - holding on to these old habits will cause discomfort - similar to training aches and pains, in your thighs, back muscles, and sitting bones as well.
The sooner you learn to relax into the chair the sooner the discomfort will disappear (It is the same phenomenon that happens with intensive training or trying a new sport.) When the adaptation period is over, the chair feels very comfortable and easy to use.
Once you adapt there is no going back to a regular style chair.

*If you are not near to one of our showrooms, you have the opportunity to purchase your Salli chair and return it within 30 days if you think you are not able to adjust to the new style of sitting. Please note that trialing a Salli chair for anything less than two weeks is not recommended, as this is the time when your body is most probably still adjusting to the new posture and engaging different muscles (depending on the different chair choices), and this is when your body might be experiencing some new stiffness while forming the new habit of sitting straighter, in the more natural position (closer to standing).
