Problems of diseases associated with the spine are in first place today. Already in the elementary grades of school, more than 50% of children have scoliosis - a curvature of the spine. Most people over the age of 25 have incorrect posture. This is where all the diseases come from.
Due to the fact that the “Goldfish” exercise is done twice a day: in the morning during warm-up and in the evening, not only the alignment of the vertebrae is achieved, but also the functions of balance are restored throughout the body: nutrition and cleansing of cells, nervous balance.
The benefits of the “Goldfish” exercise
Since childhood, being a very sick child, Mr. Katsuzo Nishi wondered how to improve his body. He developed and described a complete system of health improvement, maintaining physical fitness, in the form of a gymnastic system.
In modern realities, when every second person is exposed to the negative effects of a sedentary lifestyle, it is very important to keep your body in order. This especially applies to the main “core” of the body – the spine. An exercise called “Goldfish” allows you to maintain it and even prevent or eliminate deformities that occurred earlier.
How it works
All over the world, many people suffer from spinal diseases, not even realizing that the solution to the problem is literally right in front of their noses. Most of them simply lead a sedentary, inactive life, where movement is implied only from home to work and back. Because of this lifestyle, the spine can lose flexibility, as people say “grow together,” and even become deformed (scoliosis, osteochondrosis and other diseases).
This phenomenon can affect not only the general physical muscle tone, strength, endurance, but also the neuropsychic state. Emotional problems, such as depression, groundless torment and fears, anxiety, directly depend on impaired blood circulation in the brain, provoked by disorders in the functioning of the spine. Nishi’s gymnastics, and in particular the “Fish” exercise for the back, will help prevent such problems, and, if necessary, eliminate them.
This exercise can help have a truly revolutionary effect. After all, it shows the best possible results in the shortest possible time. However, it is recommended not only to use it, separately from others, but to pay attention to all six “Golden Rules of Health” from the Japanese healer.
In addition, you can combine the “Fish” exercise with various other practices and exercise systems. For example, it is well suited for lovers of yoga and regular meditation. Many athletes even prefer to do it as a warm-up before starting cardio or strength training in the gym. Exercise will help to achieve minimal risk of injury, as it prepares joints, ligaments and muscles for stress.
Beneficial features
Just doing the exercise twice will allow you to achieve really good results. So what can you expect from him?
- Placing the vertebrae in their places, eliminating curvatures.
- Improving general well-being, mood, emotional state.
- Normalization of blood circulation.
- Improving the functioning of the heart, gastrointestinal tract and other internal organs.
- Relieving the extreme degree of tension in the muscles.
- Noticeable acceleration of recovery processes after operations or injuries.

- Saturation of all body tissues with oxygen, including the brain.
- Strengthening and activation of the immune system, as a result, greater resistance to infections, bacteria, viruses.
As a bonus, you can get an improvement in the ability to concentrate, mental activity, and solve global intellectual problems. The syndrome of constant fatigue recedes into the background, and the soul and body are in complete harmony with each other.
Indications and contraindications
Regardless of gender, age, body type or level of physical fitness, the exercise is suitable for almost everyone, without exception. Moreover, due to the wide range of effectiveness, anyone can find something for themselves in it. It can be given to healthy people, as a preventive exercise for the spine, or to those who have already suffered from the consequences of a sedentary lifestyle.
There are virtually no contraindications, except for recent injuries, in which any physical activity is generally prohibited. In addition, there are medical prohibitions that only a doctor can give. Therefore, before starting to study the “Fish” exercise for the spine, you must definitely go to the doctor, go through all the tests and get tested. Only after this can you do Dr. Nisha’s gymnastics. Moreover, it is recommended not to focus on one movement, but to study the entire complex for complete recovery and rejuvenation of your body.
Contraindications
The main contraindications to performing the Japanese exercise:
- Pregnancy, especially in later stages;
- In the presence of open wounds or postoperative sutures (when a general reduction in physical activity is recommended for the recovery period);
- With exacerbation and pain associated with intervertebral hernias;
- For cardiovascular and other diseases during exacerbation.
In general, all contraindications for the goldfish Katsuzo Nishi are associated with situations where even normal physical activity is contraindicated and rest is required. In other cases, the movement can be used without restrictions.
Exercise “Goldfish”: technique of execution
Preparing for the exercise
Any exercise, including this one, consists of two main stages. The first is preparation, because it is no less important than correct technique. Proper preparation will allow you not to worry about the fact that it will be difficult for your body to complete the tasks you set.
Place, clothes, equipment
First of all, you need to choose the right place for training, equipment, and also pre-warm up the muscles.
- To do it correctly, you will need a fairly hard surface. The best place may be the floor surface. But a hard sofa will also do. The main thing is that you can lie down, at full height, and that there is enough space left for movements.
- If you are doing “Fish” on the couch, then no additional equipment will be required. Otherwise, get a yoga or fitness mat.
- Clothing should be fairly tight so that you have full control of your movements. However, under no circumstances should it restrict movement.
No other devices, tools or sports equipment are required for this exercise specifically, as for the entire complex of the Japanese doctor.
How long to do the exercise
It is very important to pay attention not only to technical execution, but also to time under load. How many minutes to do the exercise is influenced by both physical fitness and general fitness.
Beginners are recommended to perform the active phase for 25-30 seconds. This is the optimal value that is available to almost everyone, regardless of conditions. Gradually try to increase the time of the active phase to 3 minutes.
Only one approach is performed at a time with a preparatory warm-up. According to the original method, you need to perform two approaches per day, preferably in the morning (before you get up after waking up) and shortly before bed.
"Fish" for children
In other cases, the “Goldfish” exercise for the Katsuzo spine is useful not only for adults, but also for children from an early age. To get your child used to regular exercise, you can turn Goldfish into a game that your child will happily accept. This exercise will help the child get rid of morning sleep, and in the evening or after school it will eliminate fatigue. By performing the technique, small children will be able to pacify hyperactivity, because performing the technique requires a lot of energy and strength!
Thus, by doing just one exercise, you can not only improve your health yourself, but also involve your entire family in the exercise. Even if you do not suffer from any spinal diseases, do not shy away from the Goldfish technique. Exercise helps prevent the development of all spinal diseases and will help prolong youth and health.
Reviews
On various forums and discussion platforms you can find a lot of feedback on the effectiveness of this exercise, which indicates the popularity of the developed methodology in the modern world.
Reviews are mostly positive
Here are a few opinions from people who practice such activities.
Alexandra: “Osteochondrosis was diagnosed a long time ago. All this time I periodically undergo treatment and perform special gymnastics. I found the “Goldfish” exercise myself on the Internet, and after discussing it with my doctor, I began to perform it.
At first it didn’t work out very well, but over time I got the hang of it. After the lesson I feel light, my posture has straightened a little. I continue to do this, and now I’m going to follow the entire system of 6 rules.”
Elena : “This system is very strong, despite its simplicity. She saved me from pain in my spine.”
Dmitry: “I have been practicing the entire health system of Nisha for a long time. Of the whole complex, I like “Golden Fish” the most, after which you feel rested and relaxed.”
The benefits of this movement
The “Goldfish” exercise is the main component of the health system, developed by Katsuzo Nishi to normalize the functioning of the spinal column and the body as a whole.
Reference. Katsuzo Nishi is a Japanese healer who, thanks to the system he developed, lived to be 75 years old, although due to poor health, doctors predicted an early death for him.
The basis of the complex is the “Goldfish” movement, which has a complex effect on the body.
The healing technique was developed by the Japanese healer Katsuzo Nishi
When performed correctly and regularly, this exercise can achieve the following therapeutic effects:
- Alignment of misaligned vertebrae.
- Improved posture.
- Elimination of spinal stiffness.
- Restoring the balance function.
- Strengthening the immune system.
- Relieving the effects of stress and internal tension.
- Eliminate muscle tension.
- Improves blood circulation and metabolism.
- Normalization of nutritional balance and cleansing of the body.
- Restoration of intestinal function.
- Improved memory and thinking.
Exercise can also improving nerve conduction.
Preparing for the exercise
Before you start performing the main exercise, you need to prepare your body for it - “stretch your bones” and muscles. Be sure to do it on a flat, fairly hard surface. This could be the floor or the bed.
- Lying on your back position. Throw your arms behind your head, pull your legs as far down as possible, thereby stretching your body.
- Press your heels into a hard surface and point your toes toward your face.
- All parts of the body - the back, the back of the head, arms, legs and heels should be pressed to the surface.
Main stage
Let's move on to the main stage of the "Goldfish" lesson.
- The exercise is performed from the starting position: hands behind the back of the head, body pressed to the floor, toes pointed towards the face.
- Start finely vibrating your body. If before this you made “large” waves with the movement of your pelvis, arms and legs, now you need to imagine a fish that quickly swims away in the depths of the sea. To do this, she needs to make quick and small body movements. So you, like a fish, vibrate with your chest, stomach, pelvis and legs.
- Each vibration must be maintained for 1-3 minutes. But since the body, which is not accustomed to physical activity, is not yet capable of long-term exercise, you can perform several approaches for 30-60 seconds. After a week, begin to increase the duration, gradually increasing to 2-3 minutes per approach.
Please note that the movements should not be “up and down”, but “left and right”. To make it easier to perform, the “Goldfish” exercise for the spine can be performed with the help of a second person, who will initially create vibration in the calf area. Over time, when you get used to the activity, everything will work out on your own.
If the “Goldfish” exercise for the spine by Katsuzo Nishi is performed by a child, then you need to hold him by the hips and move them.
You can also raise your head and feet for more comfortable execution and control of the technique.
The origins of the exercise
In 1884, Japanese scientist Katsuzo Nishi was born. As a child, he was sick so often and severely that they predicted that he would not live to see twenty years of age. But he lived to be seventy-five! It was the thirst for life that made the boy then think about the issues of maintaining and strengthening his health.
The healer created an entire health system, the essence of which is that the resources for healing are inherent in the body itself. You just need to learn how to use them. Nishi's goldfish exercise is the third rule of health in the scientist's system. The main purpose of the element is to prevent and eliminate curvature of the spine.
