The Fukutsuji Method is a way to get a flat stomach and a straight back in just 5 minutes. It was developed by Japanese physiotherapist Toshiki Fukutsuji. The technique allows you to lose weight and eliminate pain in the spine. To perform the exercise, a regular towel is enough.
What is the method?
Dr. Toshiki Fukutsuji, during his many years of practice, noticed that obese people who see a sedentary lifestyle have an incorrect position of the pelvis relative to the spine. Displacement of the pelvis causes the abdomen to bulge forward. It visually seems larger. Using an exercise developed by a Japanese doctor, you can correct the position of the pelvis. When the pelvis returns to its correct position, the abdominal muscles will automatically relax and the stomach will become flatter. The method perfectly relaxes the back muscles, restores the physiological curves of the spine. The tension is removed from the lower back, the pain in the cross goes away.
Who can use it?
Designed for people who want to get rid of a protruding stomach and back pain. Such a problem may concern not only obese people. The method can help people who are slightly overweight. Weight is not a criterion that determines its effectiveness.
If there are identified shortcomings or degeneration of the spine, first of all, you should consult with a physiotherapist or orthopedist. People who suffer from severe back pain of unknown origin should first seek the advice of a specialist.
Japanese exercise for weight loss - step by step
Prepare a large cotton towel. Roll it into a tight roll at least 40 centimeters long and 7-10 centimeters thick. To prevent the roller from untied during exercise, wrap it with thin twine. Then, follow the instructions:
- Sit on the floor with outstretched legs. Place a roller behind your back. It should be close to the waist.
- Lie on your back, making sure that the wali does not move. The towel should be below the fourth vertebra at the level of the navel - this is very important!
- Straighten your legs and spread them at a distance of 20 - 30 cm, and then connect your big toes.
- Stretch your arms behind your head and place your palms on the floor so that the little fingers touch each other. Stretch your spine by stretching your arms up.
While exercising, breathe deeply and evenly. Try to relax as much as possible. Stay in this position for 5 minutes. This is the optimal amount of time it takes for the first results to appear. A maximum of 10 minutes per day can be exercised. Repeat the exercise every day. Better to do it before bed. Since after the roller it is not advised to lift anything heavier than 2 kilograms.
Exit from the exercise
It is important to complete the exercise correctly. After 5 minutes, you may experience discomfort in your lower spine. Pull your legs towards you and bend them at the knees, press your hands to your chest. Gently roll over onto one side and remove the towel from under your back. Lie on your side for 1-2 minutes. Then put your palm on the floor, lean on it and get on all fours. In the position on all fours, arch your back and then you can slowly get up.
The effect of the miracle roller
Even a single exercise can give an effect of 3 centimeters. To see for yourself, measure the circumference of the abdomen before and after the exercises, and then compare the result. Some observe that the method elongates the figure and increases height. This is the result of intense stretching of the spine.
Regular application of the Fukutsuji method gives the following effects:
- spine stretches and relaxes
- back pain disappears
- the volume of the waist decreases;
- height increases (you can “grow” by 1 cm)
- improves blood circulation in the pelvic organs
- edema disappears
For the method to work, regular execution and maximum relaxation of the whole body is necessary. It takes several weeks to lie on the roller to feel the obvious effects.
Did you know that in Japan they fight obesity at the legislative level? In 2008, the country issued the Metabolic Law. The document indicates the size of the waist: for men - 85 cm, for women - 90 cm. If a person's parameters exceed the permissible ones, a fine is imposed and a condition is put forward to take courses for weight loss.
Judging by the fact that the obesity rate in the country is 3.5%, the techniques used by the Japanese to preserve thin waist, work wonders. One of them was developed ten years ago by Dr. Fukutsuji.
Towel - gymnastic equipment
The Japanese towel roll technique is described in Fukutsuji's bestselling book.
The idea is to correct the human skeleton. The scientist conducted research, and found out that the waist "spreads" due to the divergence of the bones - hypochondrium and pelvis. To restore harmony to the body, the Japanese recommends ... lying for 5 minutes with a roller under your back.
The lower back rises, which changes the shape of the body. After regular classes, as the author of gymnastics assures, the figure acquires elegance.
How to "lie" with a towel?
For charging, you will need a minimum set of equipment - a gymnastic mat and a towel. The towel is folded into a tight roller with a diameter of 8–10 cm, fixed with rubber bands, a tourniquet or a rope..
A rolled towel is placed under the lower back at the level of the navel.
Perform the exercise in the following sequence:
They sit on the floor or other hard surface - a couch, a bed, put a roller.
Lie on your back so that a rolled towel appears under the lower back at the level of the navel.
The legs are placed shoulder-width apart, the fingers are connected (clubfoot effect), the heels are moved apart to a distance of 20–25 cm.
Hands are taken behind the head. The palms are pointing down, the little fingers are connected.
Maintain the position for up to 5 minutes, the back is relaxed.
Immediately after the exercise, do not rise sharply! Slowly turn on their side and carefully get up from the floor.
By moving the roller, adjust the effect. So, a folded towel under the lower line of the ribs makes the waist more pronounced, and under the chest it will lift this part of the body.
Gymnastics is performed in the morning or in the evening. In the first case, the body is charged with energy, in the second case, sound sleep is provided.
Safety
Before applying the technique, it is recommended to consult a doctor and examine the spine. Possible exacerbation of osteochondrosis and increased pain in the ridge. It is contraindicated to practice according to the Fukutsuji method with a hernia or protrusion of the intervertebral disc (protrusion of the disc outside the ridge).
In order for Japanese gymnastics with a towel roller to bring results, the following rules are observed:
first use a small roller, the diameter is increased gradually. Adjust the size according to the sensations: there should be no comfort or pain.
charging duration - up to 5 minutes, beginners start from 2-3 minutes.
if it is not possible to align the little fingers, at first they hold them, as it turns out.
Although the exercise seems simple, it requires mastering the technique. When performed correctly, a trembling, vibration is felt in the body - this effect is achieved by tonic muscle tension. You should listen to your body and sensations.
Breathing when "lying" - uniform, deep, slightly slowed down. This contributes to the regulation of vital processes in the body. Experts in the Fukutsuji method recommend switching to a Japanese diet for the duration of classes in order to harmonize the spirit and body.
What is good and bad method
The weight loss technique is also called gymnastics, which is wrong. It's about about a static stretching exercise that Fukutsuji says will bring the bones back into natural position. Without the normalization of nutrition, exercise, weight will not decrease.
The Japanese method solves the following problems:
- improves posture;
- relieves "tightness";
- increases growth;
- reduces waist and belly size.
The advantages include the fact that charging requires a minimum of props. Fukutsuji claims that the result is noticeable after 2-3 sessions.
Doctors say that there is nothing special in this technique. Similar methods are used in therapeutic gymnastics. And that is why classes should be held under the supervision of a doctor or at least after consultation.

Reviews
But what do users and doctors think about this technique? What are the reviews?
Tatyana, 40 years old: “I have been doing the Fukutsuji method for a month, the waist has decreased by 11 cm, the stomach is gone. Previously, my height was 163 cm. In ten years, I became “shorter” by 2 cm due to my stoop. Now it's back to the previous one."
Vera, 65 years old: “The back towel technique helped me lose 6 cm in my waist in 4 months. I wore an 85C bra, now it’s 75C. The stoop has gone, the gait has become confident. But the weight doesn't go down.
Alexander, 50 years old: “I did Japanese gymnastics for two weeks. Height increased by 2 cm, waist decreased by the same amount. I stopped exercising, and the centimeters in the waist volume returned. Didn't feel any change."
Andrey Ivanov, doctor: “I doubt the effectiveness of gymnastics, as well as the availability of a medical education from its author. The Fukutsuji method would fail if it were considered by a board of physicians. Obesity develops due to metabolic disorders, which should be influenced, and not due to bone divergence. For those who have diseases of the spine, it is dangerous to perform the exercise. For problems with excess weight and diseases of the musculoskeletal system, you should consult a doctor, and not look for a panacea on the Internet.
Dmitry Alekseev, reflexologist: “Weight loss will not happen. The waist circumference may decrease, but this is a visual effect due to improved posture.
Another Japanese exercise with a towel
And finally. Another Japanese technique suggests a towel as a sports equipment. Its creator, Imbari, suggests using an accessory twisted into a tourniquet as an expander.
Here are some exercises with this projectile.
They take the edges of the tourniquet, place it at chest level. Stretch with maximum effort. Such movements strengthen the muscles of the chest and arms.
Hands with rolled towel over head. Perform side bends to burn fat at the waist.
The towel is held behind the back. They try to stretch the tourniquet as much as possible. This will straighten your back.
You can try to do a set of exercises that is designed for a stretch expander.
By doing gymnastics according to Imbari, you can be sure that extra pounds will go away faster. But if desired and there are no contraindications, no one bothers to use both techniques.
I want to remind you how a simple towel will clean your stomach and straighten your back.
This body shaping method will take you only 5 minutes a day!
We discussed this method in detail in the post
The Japanese method of losing weight with a towel is already widely known throughout the world, because Dr. Fukutsuji's book describing it in detail has sold 6 million copies. It is based on a Japanese slimming roller and one single stretching exercise.
The Fukutsuji method is based on the theory of gradual separation of the pelvic and hypochondral bones. The reasons for this may be different, but as a result - a violation of posture, stoop, compression of the spine and, as a result, a thickening of the waist and even a decrease in height. "Stopped" - they say the people.
With age, people really become lower, the chest becomes hollow, the shoulders “go” forward, the lower edge of the ribs moves apart, visually expanding the waist and changing its correct contours. The body becomes visually fuller, swollen.
Fukutsuji came up with an exercise that brings the bones of the pelvis, spine and hypochondrium into place through the competent use of their own weight. To do this, you need to lie down for 5 minutes a day, placing a dense roller from an ordinary terry towel under your lower back.
It may seem that everything that has been said applies only to older people, while in young people everything is still in place and the pelvis has not yet parted anywhere, at least in the bones. But it's not. The incorrect position of the bones of the skeleton is formed at the youngest, and sometimes even at a young age. A person moves less and less, from childhood he “sits down” on a computer, during the educational process he spends a lot of time sitting, and with growing up the situation is aggravated by sedentary work. As a result, already young age a persistent divergence of the bones of the hypochondrium and pelvis, kyphosis and other posture disorders can form, making the figure far from perfect.
Description methods
Equipment for Fukutsuji classes is simple and affordable - it is an ordinary terry towel tightly rolled up and tightly tied with twine, ribbon or anything else. Its length should correspond to the width of the body or be slightly wider.
There are also special ready-made exercise rollers, but home-made, firstly, it works just as well, and secondly, it makes it possible to adjust its volume.
You will also need a flat surface with good, but comfortable rigidity. It can be a carpet, a foam pad for fitness, or just a thin blanket laid on the floor. You can’t do the exercise on the sofa or bed, it will be too soft.
The technique is simple to obscene.
In addition, by changing the exercise a little, you can “lift” your chest, straighten your posture, and even add a couple of centimeters to your height. Place a roller under your bust to make it look taller. To better “draw” the waist, the roller should be placed under the beginning of the ribs.
- Lie down on a hard surface, placing a roller under the lower back - exactly under the navel, relax. Move your legs apart to the width of your shoulders and connect your thumbs.
- We stretch our hands up (back), try to align them as much as possible, put them on the floor with our palms, and connect the little fingers - stretch the hypochondrium and tighten the ribs.
- The head does not tilt back, but rather, on the contrary, it stretches with the crown in the opposite direction from the body, and the chin, as it were, rests on the chest, does not shrink, but simply lies gently.
- And we lie like this for 5 minutes, do not strain the body, breathe evenly, think about a good thing, meditate with our eyes closed.
- Then we move the roller to the region of the lower edge of the ribs and repeat the whole procedure from the beginning - we lie down, pull, meditate, after 5 minutes a day we get a more pronounced waistline.
- Then we move the roller to the area of the projection of the chest and repeat the procedure again - we lie down, pull, meditate, after 5 minutes a day we will achieve a higher position of the chest.
It may seem difficult at first to lie down for the right time in this position. You can start with 2-3 minutes, and then bring up to the mandatory five. Over time, it will be easier, do not give up, even if at the beginning the sensations are unpleasant. This, of course, is not about pathological complications from classes, which we will discuss below.
The main condition for the result is regularity. That is, Fukutsuji advises doing this simple exercise every day.
However, the Fukutsuji method and other weight loss methods cannot be compared with each other. This can be called the Japanese way of improving posture, reducing the waist, increasing height, but not losing weight.
because getting rid of excess fat not happening!
If we mean by losing weight a flat stomach and getting rid of extra pounds and body fat, then practice is not aimed at this. But thanks to her, the waist becomes thinner by several centimeters, and the figure is slimmer. Imagine a fat plasticine man. If this plastic mass is softened to elasticity and the figure is stretched, our little man will become much thinner. At the same time, it is made from the same amount of plasticine as before, which means that its weight has not changed. This is how the practice of Fukutsuji for weight loss works.
The waist becomes narrower, the chest rises, the back straightens. Fat does not go away from this exercise, but we all know how motivating success is. Perhaps that is why the continuation of the above-described result is almost always the correction of nutrition, an active lifestyle, and then a change of wardrobe!
The Fukutsuji Method is the ideal complement to a comprehensive body work program that includes a healthy diet, physical activity and meditation practice. Works well in combination with exercise.
So, the method proposed by the Japanese is nothing more than a kind of stretching static exercise designed to save us from posture defects and relax “tightness.” This is what gives such a striking effect.
In fact, Japanese weight loss with a towel is not weight loss in the usual sense, but the normalization of the skeleton in the lumbar and hip regions with a concomitant decrease in volume.
The external effect is the result of the formation of the correct position of the bones of the skeleton. Due to this, the posture is corrected, the internal organs fall into place, the ribs and pelvic bones return to their original state. The muscles are stretched, gradually folding the back into a hump, muscle spasms are relieved, tightness in the area cervical, shoulder girdle, trapezium. The thoracic spine is straightened, the chest visually rises. Breathing becomes even, not superficial, the lungs are well ventilated.
It's hard to believe, but what's stopping you from checking it out!?

MYTHS ABOUT THE MIRACLE - SLIMMING ROLLER
As soon as the technique was published, it immediately began to grow into legends that have nothing to do with the truth.
For the most part, this is used by spammers and virus creators who publish sensational headlines on various sites.
So, among the common people, kitchen curtains and the queues in the stores there are rumors that thanks to the miracle - the roller can be thrown off up to 10 kg. per month, tighten your muscles and become no worse than the Victoria's Secret model.
And really, why do these athletes train in the halls, on various diets, sometimes even on strict diets?
When she lay down on the floor for 5 minutes a day - and a beauty!
So here it is from a miracle - a roller you will not lose weight.
In general, the mechanism of weight loss is simple - to spend more calories than to consume.
No other is given. You can go to the halls, twist the hoops, do all kinds of wraps and be covered with rollers from all sides, but if you do not normalize your diet, slim figure never be seen.
You just need to come to terms with this.
A miracle roller will only help straighten your posture, alleviate scoliosis, osteochondrosis and other not very neglected back diseases.
Strictly after consultation with a specialist.
If you have severe back problems, then of course the problem must be solved in a complex, under strict supervision.
TWO APPLICATIONS
On the Internet, basically, there are ways when the roller should be placed at the level of the lower back - exactly under the navel.
But, if you have a natural deflection in the lower back, then it is advisable put the roller under the shoulder blades - at the level of the fastener of the bra.
This is also the right posture and will bring you positive results.
MY APPLICATION
So, my symptoms for use were - scoliosis, osteochondrosis and main reason, which pushed me to the exercises - I strongly pulled my back.
After the injury, during the first days she could hardly walk and sit down, and the general discomfort lasted 2 weeks before the start of roller exercises.
Since I have a natural deflection in the lower back, I began to put the roller under the shoulder blades.
When I put it under the lower back, I didn’t feel anything.
I do the exercise 5 minutes a day (I set a timer on my phone), in the morning and in the evening.
The first two times I felt pain in my back, as if all the vertebrae were falling into place. Then it became much easier, only pleasantly pulling.
Approximately 5 days later, while exercising began to pull left hand , and at me just the osteochondrosis strikes the left side.
It dragged on for a few days and stopped.
I continue to do the exercises, I think that you need to do them throughout your life, otherwise everything will return to normal.
MY RESULTS
After the first application, I The stretched back stopped hurting. That was incredible!
Probably because I was a little skeptical about the roller, and I decided to try it out of interest, as a last resort.
Also From the first time, my posture improved and the pain between the shoulder blades stopped.
In general, the feeling was as if I was flying and as if I had even become taller.
I measured and couldn't believe my eyes + 2 cm to height at 27 years old!
I measured my waist right there. - 2 cm! Here is such an effect.
Only it is one-time and not due to "fat burning", but due to "stretching of the vertebrae".
At the expense of the waist, I will give such a comparison. ▼▼▼
Imagine a sausage made of dough, what will happen if you pull it by 2 ends?
That's right, in the middle it will thin out. But she won’t weigh less because of this, and there won’t be less dough in her. The whole effect is only due to "lengthening".
The same thing happens with the waist. It will decrease once by 2 cm and will not decrease again (precisely from the roller).
Your waist will only shrink from diet and care, but that's a different story.
The second positive is reduction of puffiness of the face.
For me it real problem, since adolescence. The face is very swollen in the morning. Because of what the nasolacrimal grooves are especially visible - from inner edge eyes to cheekbones.
Apparently due to improved blood circulation or a better outflow of water, but even people around me noticed that my face was very thin. Although I have not lost a single kilogram. Isn't it a miracle?

Japanese exercise for weight loss
The method was developed by the Japanese doctor Fukutsuji. After many years of research, he came to the conclusion: a violation of the natural processes and balance in the body causes the wrong location of the pelvic bones, ribs. All this leads to a curvature of posture, bulging of the abdomen, back pain, etc.
The doctor has developed a method of static stretching, which is mainly aimed at restoring the full functioning of the spine, straightening the shoulders, straightening the posture.

- shoulders are straightened;
- the pelvic bones are in the correct position;
- the chest is tightened;
- the spine is extended.
Correct exercise technique:
- Practice on a hard surface.
- Prepare a roller.
- Follow the sequence of actions: take a “sitting” position, lower limbs should be straight, put a roller under your back in the navel (this is important). Lie down smoothly on the roller, check the correct location of it under the lower back (draw a conditional line down from the navel, if the finger touched the middle of the roller - it is located correctly).
- The lower limbs are located on the line of the shoulders, the thumbs are brought together. They must be in contact with each other. Effect " clubfoot bear". Actually it's not easy. If it doesn’t work, secure your thumbs with some kind of device, such as an elastic band.

How to use a roller for osteochondrosis
The roller for the back, its thickness for osteochondrosis of the neck and lower back is selected based on the distance from the body to the mattress. By measuring the distance, the appropriate size is selected.
If the roller is made from a towel, it is twisted to the required thickness and looks like an orthopedic one. For pain in the lumbar region, lie on it, placing it under the lower back and under the knees. To keep the lower back relaxed, the legs must be kept higher than the torso.
