around an axis and ‘tonic’ refers to the healthy ability of a muscle to contract and extend to the
maximum.

We push on one side and then we pull to the other side. That means that a group of muscle initiates the movement whereas another group does the exact opposite. We supports the movement both when we pull and push, so we create a balancing functional movement. Whatever we do is always pushing out and away and pulling in and within.

Imagine to be like a jellyfish that contracts and expands to move around. This exactly how we treat the muscles. We activate everything in a rhythmic way and this is how the whole body is starting to work as one.
