History of the program "Kantienika"
In his youth, Benite was diagnosed with severe scoliosis, Scheuermann's disease, arthrosis, fracture of the sacrum. By the age of 27, replacement of the hip joint seemed to her inevitable. She could not play sports and, moreover, lived on painkillers. Since the therapy did not help, Kantieni began to study anatomy on her own in order to understand the cause of her illnesses, as well as practice different treatment methods. She experienced all the exercises and exercises available to her on herself, but most brought only some temporary relief.
In 1991, Benita read a book about the then popular callanetics. At the beginning of training, she seemed to be useful. She even went to study this exercise system. Soon Benita Kantieni realized that something was missing from these trainings, the method itself did not have an anatomical basis, a basic structure, and was not suitable for all people. And she continued her search.
In 1993, Benita Kantieni met Christian Larsen, co-founder of Spiraldynamik International, an anatomical system for analyzing and improving posture and movement. Larsen introduced her to the pelvic floor system, the main muscles for aligning bones.
Since then, Kantieni has been studying how to properly position the bones of the human body so that the deepest muscle layers can hold them in the correct position and structure.
Having tried all the training and exercises on herself, incorporating many techniques, Benita Kantieni created her own method by which she was healed herself - the Kantienika exercise system.
Today, her previously curved spine is completely straight, she has no pain, her body loves to move and exercise. A properly built body grew by a couple of centimeters and greatly changed its shape.
“Now I feel younger than I was when I was twenty, today I’m stronger and much more flexible, ” Kantieni says, “and, as a great side effect, my body feels and looks better than ever.”

But few people thought that our face also consists of muscles that need to be trained, like the whole body.
On the face of a person 57 muscles - chewing and facial. For comparison: in the whole human body there are more than 650 muscles, and most are on the face and neck. If the majority of the body still knows something about the muscles of the body, then almost nothing is known about the muscles of the face.
