 | "Swopper presents a unique alternative to traditional seating by providing a new approach to correct sitting postures and directly addresses the real issues that make sitting such an unhealthy activity."

|  | Sit Smart on Swopper!
Sitting still for long periods is exhausting and very damaging for your spine. Now we have the solution.
Swopper is an evolutionary seating platform that allows you to access motion in all directions while you sit. We call this "Sitting in Motion". |

The First Time Sitting on Swopper
Sit centered on the Swopper so that the spring piston acts as an extension of your spine. Put your feet flat on the ground. The pelvis should be positioned slightly higher than the knees, so that theres an open angle between your hips and knees when you are sitting. This promotes blood supply.
Tuck your pelvis forward slightly to protect your lumbar. Now balance yourself using your legs, your hips and abdominals. By doing so, you will intuitively sit in the correct position and train a host of small muscles: these are exactly the muscles you need for correctly holding up and supporting your spinal column.

| Give the Swopper a couple of good up and down bounces. Your diaphragm will become freer and your breathing will become deeper. Your whole body will be oxygenated, increasing your energy and mental efficiency. When you turn to work with the Swopper move your pelvis slightly toward your desk. Because of the movement of the seat, as the pelvis tilts forward the spine will stand upright on the seat. You will automatically be in the correct position
|
| | It will take some time for your muscles to get used to this new way of sitting. Start slowly, perhaps a half an hour a day increasing your Swopper use over a period of four to six weeks, depending on your current level of fitness. |
