Benefits of technology

[0010]In the present invention, the relaxing and loading (stretching) movements can be conducted as a series of movements.

Problems solved by technology

However, training may bring about various problems.
For example, improper weight setting may apply an overload to the muscles of a person or may cause the rapid blood pressure rise.
On the other hand, current office automation is prone to force people to keep improper or the same pose for a long time.
As a result, they suffer from a spinal curvature, backache or stiff neck.
