flexible. Moving things will become safer and you will move with greater ease.
Standing, walking, and breathing will improve.

Yes, the ABM can help. While getting older is something that happens to all
of us, we can do something about the limitations and loss of abilities that
have long been associated with aging. Its possible gain greater vitality and
flexibility as we age. By following the simple principles of the Anat Baniel
Method, you can create an environment where you flourish and continue
improving with time. Learn to move gracefully, letting go of unnecessary
muscular contractions. As you learn to move through life with less effort
you will discover greater strength and flexibility.

level of fitness. Many people are inactive because movement is painful and
uncomfortable.

more active, which will promote your health greatly.

harmonious, effective movement and action, in effect the program can be

and the life of those choosing to partake in these programs improve. If you feel bad it will make you feel good. If you feel good it will make you feel great.
