Sit = Hurt: Exercises for the Back, Joints, and Nerves

The author addresses all of us, Homines sedens – people who spend most of their time in a seated position. In his book, he offers an astonishingly simple and original relaxation program that allows one to eliminate the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle. To the stresses of modernity, which are 100 percent defined by the 'combat' nerves of the sympathetic nervous system, the author opposes the 100 percent strength of alpha rhythms from the wandering and pelvic nerves, activating all functions of the parasympathetic nervous system. He assigns a special role in maintaining health to the natural squat.
