What is osteochondrosis and how do I ease it?
Gravity Stretching Method Team
Osteochondrosis is a term used widely in Eastern Europe for degenerative changes in the spine and discs - essentially wear that leads to stiffness, aching and reduced mobility, often in the neck or lower back.
How Gravity Stretching helps
Decompression in suspension straps lengthens the spine, opens the space between vertebrae and eases the pressure that drives the ache. Combined with slow, supported movement it helps keep the affected area mobile instead of locking up.
Start gently and consistently. If you have a diagnosis, check with your doctor before beginning.
