Research shows that elevating the feet while seated helps relax the puborectalis muscle, a key muscle that wraps around the lower colon. When this muscle is fully relaxed, it straightens the recto-anal angle, allowing for smoother, faster, and more complete elimination.

Clinical studies also suggest that this posture reduces straining, supports gut health, and can lower the risk of long-term complications like hemorrhoids and constipation. SquatBuddy™ positions your body in the optimal angle recommended by gastroenterologists, leveraging subtle anatomy for maximum efficiency.
