Getting to know the fukutsuji technique

The Japanese doctor named Dr. Toshiki Fukutsuji was the creator of this method. He specializes in reflexology, shiatsu, and acupuncture. This procedure has been expanding not only in Japan but also around the world. Even several YouTubers and bloggers have tested this method, also known as towel exercise. This doctor theorized that the accumulation of fat in the abdomen mainly occurs due to poor posture.

This exercise basically serves as a body stretch, helping the bones return to the right place. The more the exercise is repeated, the better the results will be. The method not only repositions the bones but also strengthens the abdominal muscles. It also eliminates the fecal matter stuck in the walls of the intestine. This causes significant weight loss in the first few days. Consequently, the exercise redistributes body fat, improving appearance.

The technique is quite simple; just lie down on a rolled towel. It should be tightly secured with string or elastic so it doesn’t come undone. Support your lower back on the towel and lift your arms back. With your hands facing down, position your feet together. Just stay in this position for 5 minutes a day, and you will already notice the effects.

Step by Step of the Fukutsuji Technique

1. Roll a towel into a cylindrical shape and secure it with tape, string, or elastic;
2. Lie down with your back on the towel, in a flat and firm place;
3. Fit your lower back on the towel, at the level of your navel;
4. Open your legs, keeping your feet at shoulder width, allowing your big toes to touch;
5. Stretch your arms above your head, turn your palms down, and touch your fingertips.
6. Stay in this position for about 5 minutes. Slowly finish the exercise without sudden movements.

For best results, repeat the exercise 3 times a day. What do you think of this method? Had you heard of it before? Does it really work? Leave your comments and share with friends.
