The complex was developed by Australian osteopaths (chiropractors) after analysis of the movement of crocodiles, in which they found the spines in very good condition.



Medical series contains 9 exercises, designed for the spiral twists of the spine, performed lying on back, better on the floor.

The spiral twist is twisting when the foot is rotated in one direction, and the head at the same time in another. This movement involved the pelvis.

It is important to follow the breath.

In the initial position is exhale during the spiral turn is the breath.

Exercises to do at the expense of 8 each, i.e. 4 spiral turn on both sides.

In the extreme right and left positions of the body when the spiral turns it is necessary to linger for 4-5 seconds.

Exercises are performed in a strict sequence.

After each exercise you need to relax.

To do this, take a breath and simultaneously bend your knees (feet on the floor) and elbows, lying on the floor, hands hanging freely. In this position, you need to stay 10-20 seconds and then while exhaling, without muscular effort, slowly straighten the legs, hands down.

Exercises are performed smoothly, painlessly, without obvious effort, but with maximum amplitude. You have to feel the limit of their capabilities.
