Description

Spinal waves enhance your ability to:

  1. Open and close your spinal vertebrae to their full range of motion (they really improve back bends, without all the lower back tension)
  2. Transmit force more effectively through the spine in a wave like manner from one extremity of the body to another (hands - feet / feet - hands). This is important for martial artists to develop more powerful punches, kicks and throws.
  3. Move with a more fluid quality, which I've found leads to greater strength, power, mobility and endurance for a range of activities, from martial arts, to dance, climbing, and playing.
