  • Page 9: Exercises Recommended By Chinesport

    In order for exercises to be more easily applied when using Ercolina and Poliercolina, even if Chinesport equipment involves very small loads, we have chosen to identify them as “recommended exercises” in this manual when, performed in combination with the appropriate accessory, they can minimize body postures and behaviors that might cause stress to the system in some way, leading to microtraumas in the long term.

    How to use this information to prepare rehabilitation protocols Details about the MAIN MECHANICAL ACTION can be found in the description of each exercise. Please note that this is to identify the motor activity performed by the muscle ridge (undergoing rehabilitation); This means that the MAIN MECHANICAL ACTION involves a muscular effort that is the same regardless of the condition (as a result of trauma or illness) which is addressed by the activity itself.
