LONGEVITY + PAIN RELIEF
ESSENTRICS® FOR LONGEVITY & PAIN RELIEF
Aging is inevitable – premature aging, in most cases, is not. When we think of aging, we envision wrinkles, weight gain, poor posture, loss of energy, slower movements, osteoporosis, aches and pains, hip and knee replacements, and general overall stiffness. Most of these issues can be addressed, to some degree, with the right kind of exercise.
Muscle mass, along with muscle power, begins to dwindle at age 35. The annual rate of deterioration is approximately 8%. This rate accelerates every year past the age of 40, which translates to 25% by age 60 – and along with muscle mass and power, we lose precious fuel burning mitochondria. Losing mitochondria causes two things to happen: we have less energy, and we have more trouble controlling our weight. We also start to feel stiffer, have chronic aches and pains, and less mobility; we may need hip and knee replacements and suffer from immune related illnesses. We need to keep all our muscles strong and alive to remain feeling and looking young and healthy. Essentrics is designed to do that with gentle full-body exercise.
Although it’s especially urgent to exercise throughout your golden years, exercising is indispensable for all ages. We need to keep our muscles fit and strong throughout our entire lifetime. The only way to keep looking young and feeling vibrant is through daily exercise.

The Technique
“You are only as flexible as your tightest muscle”
In Essentrics, a primary objective is to ensure that every muscle is equally strong and flexible. To achieve full range of motion, feel young and vibrant, and have excellent posture, all muscles need to be equally flexible and strong.
We know now that to be healthy, our connective tissue must be supple and hydrated. Essentrics, being a full-body program, deliberately engages all forms of connective tissue from fascia to ligaments in every workout.
Congealed fascia leads to a feeling of stiffness, premature aging and chronic pain. To keep fascia healthy, we need to gently move in every direction and plan conceivable, as we do in the Trademark Essentrics sequences.
Another valuable anti-aging benefit of Essentrics is that it has zero impact on joints. In fact, it frees the joints. Hip and knee replacements are increasingly common as people get older; practicing Essentrics can help avoid them altogether.
COOL FACTS
-
Stiffness is one of the most common signs of aging. The hardening of fascia is just one cause of stiffness, and can be prevented, slowed down or even reversed with regular exercise. If you are sedentary, the lubricating oils within the fascia sheets can harden, effectively locking ligaments, nerves, or tendons inside the sheath – and leaving you feeling tight, stiff and old.
The Essentrics program is extremely effective in treating facia pain. Because fascia is an entry point of many nerves, it can cause extreme pain when it becomes congealed. Unhealthy fascia causes discomfort and pain in many ways.
Unhealthy fascia is often caused by:
- Atrophy
- Immobility
- Dehydration
- Injury and accidents
- Surgery and internal scarringEssentrics is a full-body program that engages the entire fascia bodysuit with gentle rotational movements through every muscle chain. It’s an ideal connective tissue workout.

Sitting is the new smoking. Many consider poor posture an inevitable part of aging instead of what it really is: a bad habit. Left uncorrected, poor posture will likely lead to health problems. When it comes to improving posture, Essentrics is leading the charge. This full body approach coupled with it’s Trademark exercises and purposeful techniques will effectively improve your posture. The lifting of the arms above the head in many of our exercises is unique to Essentrics.
To reverse poor posture, the entire torso needs to be strengthened. It is not as simple as just standing up straight, for many people lack the felexibility and strength to stand straight and support their good intentions. This is where Essentrcs comes in to realign your entire body!

Rebalancing the body is exactly like maintaining a vehicle. Once the job is done, the body is usually pain-free and able to move easily. Unfortunately, many people do not care for their bodies the way they care for their car. Exercising to treat pain is sadly underestimated, but it is vital in rebalancing the body and ridding it of pain. Balancing the body develops perfect alignment of the muscular skeleton. Neatly lined up bones and muscles produce uninhibited, easy movements. If any single muscle of a joint is too tight or weak to comfortably hold correct alignment, it will unbalance the joint and ultimately cause pain or injury. Essentrics is designed to be a full-body rebalancing workout, working all 650 muscles and 360 joints.

Essentrics stimulates blood flow, opening the capillaries and encouraging the pumping of blood and other fluids in and out of our muscles. Good circulation has many anti-aging benefits, from improving the quality of the skin, to increasing energy. Increased blood flow helps moisturize dry muscles, reliveve pain, nourish the skin, and remove toxins.
