It is widely known that sitting on a conventional chair does not work but exposes one to many ailments.
The main reason for this is the 90 / 90-degree angle sitting that causes pressure on the entire pelvic floor area and inner thighs.
The posture is inevitably bad because the pelvis cannot be tilted forward, as it is when we are standing.
Tight ligaments, tendons, muscles and skeletal structure in the pelvis prevent it. Thus, the entire posture of the back is poor.
Crucial benefits of the middle gap in the saddle chair:
Good posture
The middle gap eliminates the unpleasant pressure on the genitals when . Then it is easy to have the pelvis in the same positions as when standing.
Testicle health
The testicles require optimum temperature of is 33 C, freely flowing fluids and no pressure. With very good sitting health habits sperm and testosterone production continue on good level even in sitting jobs.
Erectile functions (erection)
The circulation in the vessels of the penis on the pelvic floor continue, but this also requires truly not-pressing clothing over the pelvic floor.
The health of the vulva (female genital)
Good ventilation in the gab prevents incubation and tissue pressure. Immune defense works due to better circulation that brings in immune cells to kill pathogens. The dangerous transfer of bacteria from the anus to the vulva becomes more unlikely. To get frequent standing and walking is also required.
The condition of the pelvic floor muscles
Upright sitting activates the pelvic floor muscles in men and women. In this position its also easy to do conscious muscle contractions or exercises to train the pelvic flor muscles, which are often too poor and cause problems in the intestinal health, incontinence and sex.
Internal pelvic health
The gap reduces (or eliminates) the pressure inside the pelvis (pelvic bowl) caused by sitting, which improves the health of the organs in the pelvic bowl. People sitting in the traditional way have many different diseases occurring there.
Pressure release in the abdominal cavity
The poor posture makes the chest press the stomach where the pressure spreads all over the abdominal cavity, of which the pelvic bowl is a part. With the gab the posture is good and internal pressure is avoided.
Activity in the intestine
Good posture and possibility to swing and rock on the chair and easiness to stand and go to walk all increase the activity in the abdominal cavity and in the muscles around it. This is turn helps the food move faster forward, which is significant benefit, now that large part of population is suffering from slow intestine activity and the illnesses that follow.
Improved ventilation
The gab of the seat improves ventilation and degreases sweating and related odor impacts. Also the needs for washing clothes degreases, especially if the healthy and practical habit of using no underwear is adopted.
In this picture we see how the gab of the chair leaves the important vessels out of pressure in the pelvic floor!
Here we see how the sit bones sink into the padding of the conventional chair and the padding pushes the soft tissues up in the pelvic floor and creates a dangerous pressure field inside the pelvic (Pelvic bole).
On divided saddle chair the organs and soft tissues in the pelvic floor can take place in the gab of the chair without harmful pressure.
With loose clothing the genitals of men and women can fit into the gab with good circulation in the healthy way of sitting
