This is a stretching method BODY CODE® SYSTEM and originates from Firenze, Italy. The founder Pino Carbone was a classical ballet dancer and had studied under Juliu Horvath the founder of Gyrotonic, during the 1970’s and 80’s and Pino returned to Italy to develop his own intriguing method but which is based on the principles of Gyrotonic. If you are familiar with Gyrotonic, you will enjoy this so much.
BODY CODE® SYSTEM promotes the process of self awareness of the posture and activates the auto-correctional mechanisms. It is a kinetic discipline which decodes and corrects movement patterns, therefor it aligns and rebalances the musculoskeletal system.
The enhanced muscular awareness induced by BODY CODE® SYSTEM is the neurophysiological basis for acquiring a more correct body posture in dynamic and static conditions. Myofascial-skeletal imbalance results in compensatory effects but this training method renews the body’s biomechanics. Particular attention is given to breathing patterns as well.
