Myofascial Release Self-Massage 1/7

Details

Feeling stiff and stressed, creaky and crotchety? Join Melissa for a morning of self-care with an Introduction to Myofascial Release Self-Massage 10am - 12pm on Saturday, February 7 We know what we're supposed to do to take care of our own personal temples: eat cleanly, sleep, breathe, stretch, strengthen, do cardio, manage stress, connect with others, give back, go outside, feed spirit. In terms of the physical, we think about our muscles, joints, and even bones but usually forget about our fascia – if we even know what it is. But our fascia doesn’t forget anything. Neglected fascia leads to pain, stiffness, limited mobility, lymphatic and energetic and emotional bottlenecks. Add in stress, illness, injury, surgery, aging, trauma, regular wear and tear, and our fascia could really use some LOVE! Fascia is a web of connective tissue found throughout our whole bodies. Myofascial Release Self-Massage (MRSM) is a massage you perform on yourself, using tools like balls of different sizes and densities, to help repair and maintain your fascia. It is easy to learn and adapt to your specific needs, and a few minutes a day can make a big difference. It is safe for almost everyone. If you have any underlying health conditions, please consult with your doctor about any special precautions you should take and let me know as much as you are comfortable with so that I can help guide you. Learning to care for my own fascia has made a huge difference in my quality of life, and I'd love to introduce you to basic DIY techniques so you can add this valuable tool to your own self-care toolbox. Remember that taking care of our selves is essential to taking care of our families and communities and our Great Mother - and you deserve self-care. - Melissa Wafer * If you register by Jan 25, the cost is $25 plus $30 materials fee for your own starter set of 3 therapy balls (1 Coregeous Ball & 1 Therapy Ball PLUS pair from Tune Up Fitness).
