Chair Setup

  1. A stool is best.
  2. Set the stool high, so that your thighs and angled down
  3. There is no need for back support with this method.

Note: if using a traditional chair:

  1. set the chair height tall
  2. sit toward the front of the chair, this will allow your thighs to tilt down.

The secret to the perfect setup, is tilting your thighs downward.
