Benefits of the whole body system
The whole body system includes the trunk and limbs in a 'strap field' that improves postural alignment and stability. This system offers a variety of functional alignment and movement optimizations. The system's core components include a tank top and hipster pants, which together provide a solid foundation for core stability and postural alignment. The included limb cuffs and straps can then be added to achieve shoulder stability, hip stability, leg internal/external rotation and/or knee extension.
