How to Use
Move muscles you rarely use and develop an ideal posture with a well-aligned body.
Work the muscles you rarely use, such as those around your shoulder blades and hips, while developing an ideal posture with a well-aligned body. Pulling RAKUDA to the left and right guides your body's axis and center of gravity into proper alignment, and exercising while maintaining good posture makes your workout more effective.
Wrap it around your neck and pull to loosen the muscles around your neck.
Stretch easily at home or in the office, even while sitting in a chair, without taking up much space!
Exercise Tips
Benefits
Feel your body move with ease
RAKUDA supports your movements, helping you maintain good posture during exercise so you can work out effectively without strain. As you develop a well-aligned posture, you'll feel your body move more easily after exercise and in everyday life.
Improved flexibility
RAKUDA supports your stretches, making them more effective.
Relief and prevention of stiff shoulders and lower back pain
Loosening muscle tension helps relieve stiff shoulders and lower back pain. A rounded back, a forward-leaning head, and other unbalanced postures put unnecessary strain on your body and can cause stiff shoulders and back pain. Maintaining good posture every day also helps prevent them.
Stronger inner muscles
Effectively strengthens the inner muscles around your shoulders, as well as the erector spinae muscles that support your posture.
Supports weight loss
Training the muscles that support your posture boosts your metabolism and increases the calories you burn. It also improves blood and lymph flow, which helps prevent swelling.
More efficient everyday movement
As you develop a well-aligned posture, you'll feel your body move more easily after exercise, and everyday movements become easier too.
Designed Based on HAL METHOD
Designed based on HAL METHOD for beautiful posture and efficient movement.
Poor posture has negative effects on both body and mind. An ideal posture with a well-aligned body allows your body to function most efficiently and keeps you balanced both physically and mentally.
