Method Putkisto is an innovative, precise exercise method of deep-stretching, deep-strengthening and deep-breathing, enabling you to achieve in-depth improvements in your body shape for a leaner, trimmer body - lifting you to a good posture.
The focus is on stretching and elongating the deep postural muscles. The method highlights the fact that muscle tightness and shortness is the primary problem in all fitness. Stretching these tight, short muscles will realign and ultimately reshape your body. Most importantly Method Putkisto teaches you the very basic skills of fitness: stretching, strengthening the core muscles of your body and a good breathing technique.
When following the programme the results will become permanent although you will feel the body-changing effects immediately. Your improved muscle balance will result in greater freedom of movement, an improved sense of well-being and health as well as increased energy levels.
Stretch your way to strength, a lifted posture and vitality.

Client Testimonials
Hip replacement aftercare using Method Putkisto
Two years ago at the age of 47 I had to have surgery to replace my left hip. After all clear from the hospital I was advised to do stretching exercises
to lengthen and stretch my muscles which would then improve my mobility. On the 7th January 2004 I started doing the Method Putkisto programme twice a week.
This was the first physical exercise I had done for over 10 years and I was amazed that after the first session there were no aches or pains.
Obviously there are some limitations on what type of stretching exercises I can do with my new hip, but there are so many variations of Method Putkisto stretches
I can do, this has not been a problem. My flexibility improved considerably after only 3 weeks and I was able to bend over to put on my socks and tie my own shoelaces up!
The benefits of doing Method Putkisto have been very rewarding and I have no doubt this programme will carry on helping me.
