3 Deep muscles, closely attached to the spine, are fundamental, but are often ignored and neglected.

4 The spine is at the core of the body The spine (the back in general terms and the vertebral column for medical professionals) is composed of several joints that give it mobility. The deep muscles situated around this axis are small and link two or several vertebrae. Together, they form a sort of sheath running from the pelvis to the skull. These muscles and the skeleton can be viewed together as a support pillar : they help the spinal column to withstand the various daily constraints (standing, walking, disequilibrium, sports ). We bend on average between 1500 and 2000 times every day. Though we work out our biceps or abdominal muscles, we unfortunately neglect these deep muscles and deprive them of the attention they deserve. They lack reactivity, are underdeveloped, overworked and sometimes are wrought with spasms. Little by little, they are attacked by fibrosis and lose their tonicity. Though not yet the stage for real anatomical injuries, the spinal column slowly becomes an over rigid mast, an unkept structure. Here begins a vicious circle that poisons life for many people of all ages. In our society, back pain is currently at the top of the list of afflictions of modern day life. Between 60% and 80% of adults will suffer from back pain at some point in their life *. Everyone is concerned. * Source : INSERM (Institut National de la Santé et de la Recherche Médicale or French National Institute of Health and Medical Research)

5 LPG has invented HUBER an effective tool for spine reinforcement

6 Cutting-edge technology that rejuvenates the human body HUBER helps prevent and fight BACK PAIN through global, harmonious stimulation and strengthening of deep muscles HUBER helps SENIOR CITIZENS to preserve or recover balance, thus restoring mobility and pleasure for light exercise. HUBER is a vital tool for WOMEN who are often SEDENTARY and who seek to maintain muscle tone and bone strength and regain good posture. HUBER is a new form of REHABILITATION. This global approach is well-adapted for diverse physiological situations. Over 80 muscles can be stimulated in one single exercise. HUBER is crucial for ATHLETES: it optimizes performance, helps control movements and increases body mobility.

7 HUBER, offers revolutionary features that yield amazing results < Mobile Column Screen and Interactive Functions HUBER measures user skill in coordinating left and right movements to reach a target light. The user thus learns to move in an unstable environment (mobile platform and column). Oscillating Platform The patented motorized platform with adjustable amplitude, speed and direction of rotation places the subject in permanent disequilibrium and thus allows correction of posture from head to toe. < The vertical movement of the column complements the platform oscillation to amplify global muscle stimulation and create whole muscle group workouts. This movement can also be adjusted at the beginning of a session to fit user height. Intelligent Handles The handles are ergonomic and are equipped with sensors that analyze in real time the user s pushing and pulling efforts. They are adapted to all body sizes and shapes.

8 How does it work? HUBER puts the whole body in disequilibrium to better establish balance Giving deep muscles (fundamental muscles) a workout in daily situations to strengthen the back as well as the entire body. Providing through all exercises both increased flexibility and strength of the spinal column and of the whole body. Encouraging increased body awareness through coordination development. under supervision (during the first evaluation sessions). or in solo (following a learning phase). A large range of applications: Health Well being Beauty Sports Stress and Tension Balance and Mobility Body Shape (Arms, Stomach...) Fitness and Physical Training Rehabilitation for Back Pain Tonicity and Flexibility Body Condition Muscle Strengthening Anti Aging Prevention of Sedentarity Physical Training during Menopause Performance Coaching

9 Everyone has something to gain from HUBER To regain back comfort and provide truly effective prevention. Rapid results without side effects. A typical session: Warm up, preparation, release of tension Place your hands and let yourself go under the gentle stimulation provided by the rotating platform that puts your pelvis in motion that, in turn, brings your spine along for the ride. The oscillating platform will soothe you and relax your muscles as you identify your tense zones. Your hand position, your hips and the platform amplitude will progressively release tension and produce optimal mobility without forcing.

10 Active phase, active workout Once you've tested your strength on the immobile platform the next step is to control the platform during motion to recreate that same strength. The goal will be to reach the center of the target (that becomes green) and hold it as long as possible. This shows that your muscle efforts are harmoniously spread out and your back is stable despite the platform rotations. Dosage, position and coordination are the 3 skills you ll develop to improve your strength and coordination scores displayed at the end of each exercise. Customized exercises With your feet parallel or in a stride position, with your hands symmetrically or asymmetrically placed, a variety of positions are possible depending on your skill, your age and your level of fitness. You will receive constant feed-back that will force you to correct yourself unconsciously. It s easy and fun. Flexibility, relaxation These intense but completely painless sessions will help you to dissociate the hips and shoulders, relax the stomach and free up your breathing without sore muscles.
