"Archetypal Postures and the Erectorcises" - Phillip Beach

We move, we rest, we move, we rest – all day, every day. For millions of years our species, a species of ape that became bipedal, returned to the terrain for rest. Lower limbs that had lengthened and morphed for efficient bipedal walking/running, also needed to retain the flexibility and strength needed to return to the terrain for that essential rest, and then to erect to standing yet again. Recently this process of floor to standing has been shortened to chair sitting to standing. In modern life every time one feels like a rest society provides a chair. This is profoundly detrimental to our biomechanical health. Placing a value on floor sitting is part of the answer to back, hip, knee and ankle pain.
