Benefits: Brings back elasticity to the spine and tones the abdominal organs. Slipped discs.
The liver, abdominal organs and muscles are massaged. The pancreas and adrenal glands are
toned, balancing their secretions. The kidneys are massaged and excess weight is reduced
around the abdominal area. This leads to improved functioning of the digestive, excretory and
reproductive organs and helps to remove gastrointestinal disorders, dyspepsia, chronic
constipation and sluggishness of the liver. The spinal column is realigned and the ligaments,
muscles and nerves are activated, removing stiffness. It helps to correct hunching of the upper
back.
