Expert Guide “Sitting: When the Flows of Living Systems Are Impeded”
This section brings together the main sitting-related pain conditions, understood as possible manifestations of impeded flows in living systems: relative immobility, duration of exposure, concentration of support points, and loss of mechanical variability. Each entry links to a dedicated knowledge guide that explains the mechanical, functional, and neuro-tissue mechanisms involved.
