How Sitting and Clothing Impact Your Circulation— And What You Can Do About It

When we think of ergonomics, we often focus only on musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). However, circulation health is just as crucial — and poor posture, tight clothing, and prolonged sitting can significantly disrupt blood and lymphatic flow.

How Sitting Affects Circulation

Many factors contribute to circulation disorders (CD), including:

  • Pressure from furniture on soft tissues;
  • Tight clothing restricting blood flow;
  • Long periods of immobility;
  • Poor posture increasing muscle tension.

Since our bodies were designed for movement, sitting for extended hours in conventional chairs can lead to reduced circulation, discomfort, and long-term health issues.

How Salli Improves Circulation

The Salli Saddle Chair is designed to support healthy circulation by:

  • Distributing weight through the sitting bones, reducing pressure on soft tissues;
  • Encouraging an upright posture, keeping the body active;
  • Allowing for better ventilation and reduced compression on the pelvic area.

For optimal circulation, consider looser clothing, standing breaks, and light movement throughout the day. Small changes in your sitting habits can lead to big improvements in your health and well-being.
