Did you know that the way you sit on the toilet makes a huge difference? When sitting with your legs flat on the ground (which is optimal for sitting posture), the puborectalis muscle becomes tight and compresses the rectum, making it difficult for stool to pass. ??However, when you elevate your legs (knees above hips), your sphincter aligns straight, and the puborectalis muscle becomes relaxed. This allows for an ease of elimination of your bowels. ?? ? Avoid straining ? Relax your elbows on your knees ? If you need help initiating a bowel movement, try blowing as if you were gently blowing into a balloon ? Gently rock back and forth to find a position that seems most helpful to you ? If you find yourself straining to have a bowel movement, adjust your position. ? Grab some books, a stool, or a squatty potty. Make sure your knees are higher than your hips, and lean forward with a straight back. Focusing on the position of your sphincter and a specific pelvic floor muscle (the puborectalis) will allow for optimal bowel health!
