In this post I'm consolidating the free self-massage for fascia resources that are available on The Danaher Method platform. This selection is a tiny snapshot of the full library of classes available in our digital library.
The Roll & Release techniques you'll learn class will heighten your awareness of your own tension, pain and coordination. You'll practice stretches, breathing strategies and learn how to use tools like trigger point balls and foam rollers to help you locate, assess and fix blind spots in the body. These classes will relieve sore muscles, improve mobility and promote relaxation. Those who practice this regularly have said they 'float' away with a greater understanding of where their body is in space and reduced muscle tension.
Some things to consider as you begin:
1/ This is about you. Actively listen to how the release techniques make you feel. Notice where there is tension, notice your body temperature changes, your breath. You are in charge.
2/ Fascia release does not work without breath. Practice long, slow inhales and exhales while the fascia balls are applying pressure.
3/ Pay attention to good vs bad pain. If you can't breathe deeply or feel a very uncomfortable, take the modifications that are offered in these classes or pause completely. This does not need to hurt to help.
4/ You only need 90 seconds for the fascia to release.
5/ Practice this work 2-3 x week. Once you've worked thru these resources, head to to the Digital Library for the complete library of classes.
Please review our terms and conditions before beginning any workout.
