Lajin (stretching) theory:


According to Chinese medicine, the main strip of the Jin (tendons) in the body runs from top of the head to the back,
the waist, the thighs, the calves, the heels and ends at the center of the soles. When the Jin is contracted, it causes
various pains, constrains and inhibits the movement of the body. According to Taoism, the extension of one inch of Jin
results in the extension of ten years of lifespan. In fact, people who enjoy longevity usually have flexible bodies.
You can learn Lajin (stretching the Jin) in one minute, and yet it is a very effective way to treat pains and eliminate
toxins in the body.
