In this episode, Christian Drapeau interviews Marie Jalkanen, who introduces Salli Systems, a company focused on creating ergonomic saddle chairs that help maintain proper pelvic alignment and reduce pressure on the spine. Marie explains how most conventional chairs force the pelvis to tilt backward, leading to poor posture, back pain, and other health issues. Salli’s unique design mimics the posture of riding a horse, encouraging the correct tilt of the pelvis to align the spine naturally.

The conversation covers the health benefits of sitting with a proper pelvic tilt, including improved circulation, reduced pressure on the lower back, and the prevention of issues such as herniated discs and neck strain. Marie shares how Salli chairs are designed with a split-seat to reduce pressure on the pelvic area, supporting healthy circulation and protecting sensitive areas such as the prostate and ovaries.

Marie also highlights the customizable features of Salli chairs, including adjustable seating angles and models with small tables for those who prefer to work without a traditional desk. The chairs also allow for subtle movement, encouraging microcirculation and core engagement, which are essential for long-term spinal health and preventing back pain.

This episode offers valuable insights into the importance of posture and how innovative ergonomic designs like Salli's can transform how we sit, helping prevent the long-term health effects of poor sitting habits.
