Roll With a Purpose

Many of the everyday athletes we see participating in activities like running, cycling, strength training, or yoga experience tightness that creates a ton of pain they have no idea how to deal with. Many times, we stop exercising, which can create even worse pain from remaining stagnant. It can be a vicious cycle.

Foam-rolling or using balls in a technique called self-myofascial release can be powerful to get rid of pain and when used properly, can become a maintenance tool that allows you to live an active, pain-free life!

Doctor of Physical Therapy and yoga instructor Melissa Oleson offers great tips in her most recent blog ‘Rolling With a Purpose - The Dos and Don’ts of Self Myofascial Release.’ Read her full thoughts here and join us for a two-hour workshop with Melissa at Fit2Shine Studio on December 15th from 3-5 PM called Roll, Release, & Restore.

“It is one of the most powerful tools I have come across in my 10+ years of helping people kick their pains to the curb and getting back to what they love to do.”
