Method for Muscle and Body Alignment and Strength Training

Abstract

A system and method for evaluating an individual's posture relative to an objective measurement surface to determine the location of any misalignments of the body, the method including an alignment process to allow muscles that are misaligned to release, for proper positioning of the body and muscles, and a system for aiding the individual to achieve proper alignment. The method further includes a training process to reinforce proper alignment.

Description

FIELD OF THE INVENTION[0001]The invention relates to a system and method for alignment of the body, and more particularly, to a system and method for evaluating proper posture and a method of aligning the body to maximize space and flexibility, establish the correct form for strength training, maintain daily functionality, and enhance performance in running and sport-specific activities.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]Fitness and exercise have become an important part of many individuals' weekly routines. With the population becoming increasingly health conscience, many individuals are turning toward “intensive” training regimens. Other individuals continue to perform more traditional cardio training regimens, while still others engage in more traditional strength training programs.[0003]Traditionally, posture has been touted as an important factor in how a person presents and is socially received by others. As such, many associate posture as important (or not) as a social statemen...

AI Technical Summary

Benefits of technology

This patent is about a system and method for strength training that increases efficiency and output strength. The method involves a series of movements that lengthen the muscles and make them more flexible. This allows the individual to move more freely without being limited by tight muscles. The goal is to make the muscles stronger and more effective at producing force.

Problems solved by technology

However, in examining the body's response to stress (mechanical stress experienced during exercise training), it has been determined that posture can dramatically affect the results an individual sees from their training program either positively or negatively.

Misalignment of the underlying skeleton will cause the muscle attached thereto, to be moved to a position that may not be optimal for the effective mechanical use of the muscle.

As such, a person may engage in an exercise routine on a regular basis, but because of poor posture, the individual does not get the most benefit from the routine.

In fact, it has been observed that in some instances, damage to the body along with the associated pain and discomfort can occur when a person engages in an exercise routine with poor posture or body alignment.
