Question:
I'm wondering what the correct seating position is to aid bowel motions? Thanks
Answer(s):
Hi there
This is the correct seating position
Sit well back on the seat. Your knees need to be at an angle higher than your hips, ie. on tip toes or a small foot stool. Lean forward, keeping your back straight and relax your forearms on your thighs. Let your lower abdomen bulge. If you need to push, use the muscle that makes your waist wider - blowing or laughing does this.
