An A to Z of ESSENTRICS™

Enjoy this A to Z list of ESSENTRICS; you just might learn something you never knew.*

A is for Awareness: Awareness in ESSENTRICS is the conscious and deliberate alignment of all joints: ankles, knees, hips, and spine.

B is for Balance: ESSENTRICS improves balance for young and old; an important consideration, since your balance reflexes start to go as young as the age of 26.

C is for Cardiovascular System: The constant stretching and strengthening (pumping) dynamics of ESSENTRICS  stimulates blood flow throughout the body, thus contributing to cardiovascular health.

D is for Dynamic: ESSENTRICS is the ultimate dynamic stretching program, by rebalancing your muscular structure in continuous rotational movements. 

E is for Energy: ESSENTRICS increases your energy level.

F is for Feet: ESSENTRICS specifically takes off the shoes to rebuild and awaken the weakened feet muscles.

G is for Golgi Tendon Reflex: The Golgi tendon reflex relaxes the muscle, while the myotatic reflex contracts the muscle. The various techniques used in ESSENTRICS seek to harmonize muscle movement with reflex intelligence.

H is for Happy: At the end of an ESSENTRICS workout, participants often say they feel relaxed and contented - i.e., happy! - even though they have just finished a rigorous workout.

I is for Intensity: You can change the intensity of an ESSENTRICS workout, so anyone can do it.

J is for Joints: ESSENTRICS improves joint mobility by increasing the range of motion of every joint.

M is for Muscle Chains: The movements in ESSENTRICS are designed to deliberately follow the natural chains of the muscles.
