What is the M11 system?
M11 is a system of movements, products and a philosophy that restores health and longevity to the body and its tissues. Top Why is restoring health to the body's tissues important?Healthy tissues lead to a younger, longer and more fulfilling life. In order to maintain healthy tissues, we need healthy cells. The only way to slow down the rate of aging is at the cellular level. Utilizing M11 daily is one of the most efficient ways to wring out cellular waste. Get rid of this waste, and your cells, tissues and body stay younger longer. Top Who is M11 for?M11 Fitness is designed for people of all ages, fitness levels and body types. M11 is a system defined by each individual user. It is effective for any individual committed to a long, youthful and pain-free life. All of M11's movements, when applied slowly and gently, are safe for anyone. It is up to the user's comfort and experience to increase the intensity. Whether you're a golfer or a mixed-martial artist, a grandmother or a star high school athlete, a busy mom or a corporate executive, M11 will help you lead a younger, stronger and more pain-free life. Top How is it possible for M11 to alleviate chronic pain in both elite athletes and the rest of us?The one thing we all have in common is that we all have a body. Regardless of the path we take in life, we all experience some level of physical pain. Most of these issues are never truly addressed, and we write our discomfort off as merely the cost of living life. Whether it's your knee, neck or shoulder - maybe it's the back you sprained taking the trash out - you don't have to be a professional athlete to experience its debilitating effects. Top Do I have to have an existing injury to get benefit from M11?Absolutely not. One of the best applications of M11 is to do it BEFORE you get injured. Consistent practice of M11 and its techniques can help prevent injury and assist in speeding up recovery, if you do get injured. Top How does M11 work?Through a combination of leverage, contraction and movement of muscle tissue, you will learn to "wring" and "wiggle" your way out of chronic pain and into a healthy, youthful and pain-free life. The M11 series of products and videos is designed to help restore overused or injured areas of the body, enhancing tissue health, flexibility and range of motion. Top What's so important about the movement of lymph?A growing chorus of cardiac specialists are discussing the importance of the lymphatic system, when it comes to maintaining our body's overall health. Considered ‘the other circulatory system', it's largely responsible for our body's immune function. A vast network of vessels transports a fluid known as "lymph," which has the dual purpose of both nourishing our cells (with oxygen and sugar), and carrying away their waste (lactic acid and metabolites). The lymphatic system lacks the efficiency of our cardiovascular system and can leave harmful substances behind (including bacteria and toxins) if the flow is weak. A buildup of such harmful substances has the potential to lead to sickness and disease. This is where M11 comes in. Since the lymphatic system has no heart, there is no pump to force the fluid through the body. It relies instead on deep muscular contraction. The movements of M11 are designed to elicit those deep muscular contractions to help ensure a healthy flow of lymph through the body. Hormones released from stress, such as epinephrine, narrow the lymphatic ducts reducing lymph flow. M11's movements also aid in stress reduction, thereby reducing its harmful physiological effects. Top Does M11 have other products?Yes. We currently have the M11 Straps available for purchase on our website. Slip on these comfortable fleece "foot mitts," and start unlocking areas of chronic pain and stress right away guided by the DVD and what you feel.
Isn't this just a variation of Pilates or Yoga? We've been trained in and love Pilates. M11 is designed to enhance everything you love to do, not replace it. If you love Pilates, as we do, keep doing it. M11 will restore, strengthen and prepare you to be a better Pilates or Yoga practitioner. Top Can't I just get a massage and have the same benefit?Massage is fantastic and very important. Many of our trainers are certified massage therapists. The main difference between getting a massage and practicing M11 is that with M11, you are contracting and moving your own muscles. Nothing is more powerful and can transform your muscle tissue more efficiently than deliberate and conscious contraction of your own muscle. That said, when we are working privately with a client in acute pain, we often start with gentle massage to comfort and guide them into physical sensation. Top Does M11 have to substitute for my favorite hobbies and sports?Absolutely not. M11 Fitness is intended to ENHANCE everything you love to do. If you're a Yoga or Pilates nut, a basketball or football player, a runner or a hiker, or someone that wants to get out of chronic pain and take care of your body, M11 is for you. Top Can I travel with The Straps?Yes. They're extremely portable and even come in their very own cool travel bag. Top Do you provide certification classes to personal trainers?We provide one-day, weekend and on-going classes and seminars for trainers looking to learn M11 and expand their marketability. Top Do you hold seminars on how to use the product?Yes. We conduct seminars for clients, as well as trainers looking to teach M11. We can set up a program that works best for you, whether at our facility, your home or place of business. Top How do I describe M11 in layman terms to other people?M11 Fitness is an innovative, self-guided movement system and product line that empowers people to prevent and eliminate chronic pain, by restoring health and longevity to the body's tissues. Top How often do most people do M11?Everyone is different. Most people spend about 15-20 minutes daily - often broken up into 5 minute chunks. Top |
