Muscle chains and joints are connected to each other similar to interlocking toothed wheels. We can only achieve balance if the pelvis (hip bones) and all segments of the spine (cervical, thoracic, lumbar, and sacral) are perfectly aligned.

The picture above symbolizes that each individual change in tension in one area of the body has a compensatory effect in other areas.

As an example , the turning of the lower toothed wheel to the left (symbolizing an anterior rotation of the pelvis), would cause a compensatory increase in lordosis of the lumbar spine (symbolized by the middle toothed wheel rotating in the opposite direction). This compensation will in turn cause the compensatory change in the thoracic spine.

What happens if the body is out of alignment?

If the pelvis and the spine are not in balance, the muscles experience an inner resistance and will require more energy to deliver the work necessary for controlling posture. This will have negative effects on the patient’s recruitment of muscles for purposeful movement activity. When the body’s muscles are unable to maintain the load placed upon them, the muscles develop pain.

Vabena® aids your body to regain a balanced position by stimulating the proprioceptors under your feet. This stimulation will either activate or inhibit the postural muscle chains.

Repairing the body to place the pelvis and spine in a balanced position will relieve pain and free up energy for increased muscular and physical performance.
