Movement and Fluidity: continuing to improve posture
This session, with the help of the Pancafit ®, is a natural continuation of the first phase and focuses on postural improvement and the benefits derived from it. The main objective is to work on the mobility of the back stretch, lengthening of the posterior muscle chain, pectorals and cervical muscles, in order to contrast rigidity resulting from incorrect postures and find well-being and fluidity in daily movements.
