FUNCTIONAL EXERCISES
* Functional Exercises is a technique of training aimed at the prevention of muscle and joints injuries. The human body can move with speed, strength, agility, and endurance in a surprising range of movement. Unfortunately, most people move yourselves or train themselves in unilateral movements and thus they're developing skills in a specific side of the body.
* These exercises stabilize the spine through activation of deep musculature of the spine and abdomen.
* Facilitates balance and postural alignment of functional form.
* It exercises agility, endurance, co-ordination, stabilization, flexibility, and proprioception.
* Improves physical conditioning and also acts as an excellent heating before initiating an specific training of martial arts (jiu jitsu, wrestling, MMA, Boxe, Muay Thai, etc…)
ANGLE THERAPY
Angle therapy is a manipulation technique that consists of utilization of manual pressure on determined muscle areas or joint areas of the body.
​
This pressure should be worked at a 360-degree angulation, that is, the entire technique will be executed in all muscle or joint angles in a circle form.
​
Pressure can be executed through the palms, fingers, forearms, elbows, and combined movements of these areas.
​
This technique originated from the combination of shiatsu therapy and other manipulation techniques such as: Tui Na, Deep tissue, Myofascial and sports therapy.
