Self MFR-Body Rolling
Self myofascial release through body rolling is a powerful self care remedy for many chronic and acute issues in the body. A variety of sized balls and tools will help you release the tension from your fascia creating an over all feeling of lightness, ease and spaciousness throughout your whole being. Learning how to release the issues in your tissues is important for everyone, not only will it increase your range of motion, decrease pain, balance the nervous system, and make you feel more fluid in your body but it will also increase awareness as to where you are gripping and holding trauma. This practice will also help decrease injuries as you start to connect with your body on a deeper level. This is taught one on one, class, group and corporate settings.
Myofascial Release

So what would be the wisest decision? To rub the hood ( Swedish Massage) or pull the fender away from the tire? (Myofascial Release).

These restrictions fail to show up in tests such as MRI's, X-Rays...
