Pelvic Function & The Squatty Potty

Pelvic Function & The Squatty Potty

Goal: Show how the squatty potty helps the position of the pelvis improve with urination and defecation

Background:
* Our ancestoral homosapiens used to do all their business in a hole in the ground

Why the squat position when using the bathroom:
* most healthy position for the pelvis and hips
* best angle for the anorectal angle
* Best angle for the puborectalis to relax and let everything loose
* anorectal inhibitory reflex is most efficient

What is the best angle of the hip:
* anything below parallel
* the more hip flexion the better according to a 2010 study of the Influence of Body Position on Human Defecation (My tall ancestors should feel better about this).

Chronic Conditions that can be fixed from improving our pelvic position (anorectal angel) when excreting waste product:
* Constipation
* Fecal and Urinary Incontinence
* Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
* Colon Disease
* Urinary Infections
