The Exercises

Unless you have performed an ELDOA exercise, you haven't experienced anything quite like it!   

To help describe the exercises, the closest example would be Yoga, and how it includes postures held to increase stamina and alignment.  

ELDOA are also "held postures", but they are very different in that each exercise targets a specific joint of the spine.   The goal of each exercise is to increase the space within that joint.

How It Works

The ELDOA utilize the body's myofascial system to carefully create tension around a specific joint of the spine.  As the position and tension is held, the space between the joint widens.  
Spine Health

Creating space results in:

  • disc hydration
  • reduced disc compression
  • normalized disc bulges
  • pain reduction
  • reduced degrees of scoliosis
  • reduced stiffness
  • improved spine mobility
