"SwopperŽ presents a unique alternative to traditional seating
by providing a new approach to correct sitting postures and
direction addressing the real issues that can make sitting a
much healthier activity."

"The SwopperŽ is clearly preferable to conventional office chairs for physiological and therefore health-related considerations."
Dietmar Schmidtbleicher, M.D.
"Many acute and chronic back problems are due to lack of movement.
A very good way of preventing this is to integrate movement into everyday life, especially everyday life in the office. The SwopperŽ provides a unique combination of sitting and moving. This is why I use it in my practice."
Christian Kinast, M.D.
Specialist for Orthopedics
and Accident Surgery
"SwopperŽ has tremendous advantages over ordinary office chairs, because it allows a person to sit with an open angle between thigh and trunk, which protects the spine, and it offers the possibility of nearly continuous movement, which protects our well-being overall."

"No one can take better care of your teeth than you by brushing them every day. 'Sitting in Motion' on SwopperŽ is taking active care of your spine on a daily basis."
Dr. Gregory Paprocki PT, PhD, OSC
"SwopperŽ is a revolutionary seating idea that brings the best of rebounding and comfort to your everyday sitting experience. I have found that it keeps my back supple and my lymph fluids moving while working at my computer. My staff enjoys SwopperŽ so much that they won't give it back to me!"

"Since I have been sitting on SwopperŽ, it has allowed me to change my postural habits, giving me a stronger, healthier back. I wholeheartedly recommend SwopperŽ to anyone who values their spine."
Andy Mills, President
Medline Industries Inc.
"I have been very happy since the purchase of my new chair! I have felt a noticeable strengthening of my lower back and a much better posture at work. I am sitting up more straight (in fact my overall posture has improved) and breathing more fully as a result. Since I sit at a desk for long periods of time, the chair's spring is a great way to keep my energy up. I have also noticed that I don't lean on my desk for support as much as I used to - a habit I was not even aware I had! The chair is extremely well made and looks great too - many people have stopped in the office to ask about it. Thanks again, keep up the great work!"
Bruce Fenton, President
Atlantic Financial Inc.
"As a TV anchor who is on the anchor desk for 3 shows a day, SwopperŽ has really helped me with my low back pain. Besides anchoring the news I also teach an indoor cycling class that always left me with low back pain. Ever since I started sitting on SwopperŽ my low back pain has decreased significantly. Even though I can't bounce during the newscast itself, I make sure I stretch and bounce during the commercial breaks to give my back the movement it needs; that's something the chairs I used to sit in wouldn't allow me to do. Thank you, Swopper!"
Renee Phillips, TV Anchor
News Channel 4
"I got my SwopperŽ the next week. Ive been happily Swopping ever since. I exercise frequently at the gym and I always look for ways to get a bit of exercise during the day while I am doing something productive. With the SwopperŽ, I can work at my computer while I get a bit of stomach and back exercise and, of course, I get the benefit of much better posture than with my old executive chair."
David Alley, P.E., President
ANNA Incorporated
"I really like it! When spending extended time at my desk I would slowly slouch into a position that was not optimal posture for my back. The slouching was so subtle that I wouldn't notice it until I got up out of the old chair and then felt the pain. The SwopperŽ does not allow me to do that; it improves my posture. I also think it's fun to use, which automatically gives me a happy feeling when I sit down on it."
Mr. Michael A. Tantilla
Financial Consultant
"I am very pleased with my SwopperŽ chair. I am sitting on it right now and bouncing away in between typing my email. I love the charcoal gray color. It matches with my computer desk perfectly. I also love the fact that it forces me to sit up straight more often, which is a lot healthier for the back anyway. The shipment also arrived earlier than expected, which was just fine."
Mary Jung
Medical Professional
"Just wanted to write and let you know how happy I've been with my Swoppers. I originally saw one in a design store in Chicago. Then, on a trip to Europe, they seemed to be everywhere I looked. While I knew they were designed as ergonomic office furniture, I thought they would make perfect counter stools in my loft. I bought four, mostly for their contemporary, industrial look. Not only have I been happy with how well they've fit in but also they're remarkably comfortable. I often pull one from my counter into my office to use as my desk chair. Furthermore, whenever I have people over the Swoppers are the first seats taken. They're different from anything anyone has seen before, interesting to look at, and lots of fun to sit in. I couldn't be happier."
Matthew Prince

"I use my SwopperŽ mostly at home, but I also take my SwopperŽ "on-the-road"...I've even taken it to work! No more weak, lower back or abdominal muscles...I love it!"
