The renowned Japanese doctor and medical innovator, Toshiki Fukutsudzi, has devoted a decade to developing a technique to combat poor posture. She gained fame through her book, where she details how individuals can enhance their posture, address back issues, and strengthen their core muscles. The book became a huge success, selling over six million copies in Asia alone! Fukutsudzi’s specialized method, focusing on treating hip problems, can also help reduce waist fat.
It’s important to approach such success stories with a level of skepticism. Blindly believing them can lead to disappointment. Nevertheless, given the popularity of this method, it’s worth giving it a try. If you are experiencing severe and persistent back problems, it is advisable to consult a doctor promptly. However, in other cases, you can safely attempt this technique. The exercises are straightforward and only require five minutes of your time.
Here’s how it works:
Roll a regular towel into a stable, thick sausage shape. Use tape or a rope to secure it in place. Lie on your back on a firm, flat surface – avoid using a bed or couch as they are too soft. Position the rolled towel under your back, just around your navel where the spine starts to curve.
Next, spread your legs so that your feet are at shoulder-width apart. Point your toes inward until they touch. Extend your hands above your head until your palms touch the floor, and have your pinkies meet. Maintain this position for five minutes. Initially, it may feel uncomfortable or slightly painful, but persevere for the full five minutes. With each repetition, the exercise will become easier!
For optimal results, perform this exercise three times a day.
If this exercise seems too simple to yield noticeable results, set aside your doubts – what do you have to lose? Take on this challenge! Share this technique with your friends, especially those who may be dealing with back problems.
