Created in collaboration with developed with Dr. Markus Knoringer – a specialist in neurosurgery and intervertebral disc and spine surgery, as well as general sports medicine, the Active system permits control of the “pelvic motion” and consequently ” minimizes the risk of discomfort in the lower lumbar spine as well as the pelvis and the hip. It also results in specific relief of intervertebral discs as well as facet joints.”
