Healthy sitting begins in the pelvis – how MyPelvi can help you actively support your posture
Many of us spend many hours sitting every day – whether at the office, in the car or on the sofa. But prolonged sitting and one-sided postures can affect body awareness and cause tension – especially in the back, hips and core.
What many people do not know is that, alongside the abdomen and back, the pelvic floor also plays a central role in a stable sitting posture. As part of the deep core muscles, it can help relieve strain on the spine and promote balance in the core.
Activating while seated – with MyPelvi
With MyPelvi, you can activate your deeper muscle structures while seated – without changing your clothes, in just 22 minutes. Many users report greater body awareness and more upright posture in everyday life – without any additional exertion.
The session takes place comfortably in everyday clothes: You sit on the MyPelvi chair, which uses innovative technology to deliver up to 25.000 impulses deep into the muscles. This stimulates the muscles to tense and relax – a process that many people find beneficial.
How to sit more healthily in everyday life
An upright posture begins with simple rules: both feet flat on the floor, knees at a right angle, shoulders relaxed – this allows you to support your body consciously. A slight forward pelvic tilt and regular changes of position also promote well-being.
Additional aids such as ergonomic chairs, balance cushions or height-adjustable desks help make sitting time more active. Better still: get up, stretch or walk a few steps every half hour.
You can also consciously shape your posture while travelling in the car or sitting on the sofa – e.g. with small cushions for lumbar support or a mindful sitting position. Those who exercise regularly and specifically strengthen their core can better offset the strain of sitting.
Conclusion
Healthy sitting begins in the pelvis. MyPelvi offers you an innovative way to activate your core while sitting – discreetly, efficiently and in a way that fits into everyday life. Experience for yourself what active sitting can feel like:
