Abstract
This short practical article suggests that for those unused to ground living, increasing their time spent in sitting or kneeling postures may improve their adaptation of their passive and active joint structures by using low stools, mats, blocks, yoga bricks, bolsters/cushions, and rolled towels. A very slow approach to adaptation and a deliberate reduction of extremes of available lower limb joint range, in the beginning of the process, is likely to reduce possible tissue overload injury risk.
