The Deep Squat About 4,900 years ago, the Egyptians invented chairs, and the human spine has never been the same.1 Before humans had chairs, they squatted. Archeologists know this from markings on the bones of Neanderthal, Paleolithic, and Neolithic remains.2 Regular squatting can counter many of the muscle imbalances that come from our modern seated lifestyles. A squatting position strengthens typically weak, inhibited muscles, including the tibialis anterior, the peroneals, the gluteus maximus, and the hamstrings. As gravity pulls the buttocks down between the legs, the erectors and lumbar fascia stretch. A significant stretch occurs in the knee extensors. Massage therapists and bodyworkers enjoy the deep squat as self-care and recommend it when appropriate as home care for clients.
