Why should you use a squatty potty?
💩
When some of us have difficulty using the bathroom, and feel a bit “blocked”, it can be due to increased tension of the puborectalis muscle, which wraps around the bottom of our re**um!
💩
Use of a squatty potty or stool, to bring your knees up closer to your chest, may reduce the pressure to your pelvic floor and result in improved ability to have a bowel movement! And don’t forget those deep cleansing breaths 😮‍💨🧘🏼‍♂️💨 (no bearing down!)
