For 90 minutes, your muscles are contracted and stretched at a cellular and biochemical level. Lipids and proteins reorganize optimally during stretching, allowing for better circulation. Joint mobility and range of motion increase, and strength is built through the use of gravity. Muscles and joints become more balanced.
Oxygenated blood reaches your bones, and working against gravity strengthens them. The immune system’s organs within the red bone marrow are stimulated.
Lymph nodes are massaged, lymph fluid is pumped, and white blood cells are distributed throughout the body as the lymphatic system functions more efficiently.
There is compression and extension of the thymus, spleen, appendix, and intestines. The lungs are stretched and cleansed as blood circulation increases. The endocrine glands are encouraged to secrete the appropriate hormones, enhancing communication between hormones and various glands and systems in the body. Toxins and waste are eliminated through the excretory organs.
Nerves are stimulated through compression and extension, improving communication across all systems and delivering fresh blood, oxygen, and nutrients throughout the body. The brain is stimulated as circulation improves and blood pressure changes.
