Join me every Monday at 7:30pm, or Wednesday at 12pm to learn about the Foam Roller Benefits, and how to improve posture, Body Alignment, improve mobility, and manage joint pain.
I foam roll everyday. The foam roller benefits are above, and beyond you can imagine. It is not only about releasing tight spots at your muscles. You can understand it as a mix of a good work from a massage therapist, a chiropractor, and a good therapy session. If done at the right way.
The foam roller benefits are physical, and emotional. It is your body, and mind connection. Foam roll, stay tense, thinking about the world, and things you need to do, and you will hate every minute. Different from foam rolling, getting in your breathe, feel your body, and try to relax. Not mattering how painful it feels. 🤔
I always say during my foam rolling classes: “Pain is just a signal. Your body is sending you and alert state that you might get hurt. Take some nice breathes, and tell your body you are fine. That you are not in danger. That you are doing this on purpose”. Less tense you feel, less pain you will feel.
Understand that some muscles in your body have been tense for a LONG time. They know nothing different than overworking. There is no relaxing time 🤔 (body x mind connection). Once you foam roll, you bring blood flow to that muscle, you induce it to relax, and if you keep on practicing, you will start noticing when that muscle is relaxed, or tense. This is really important towards improving posture, body mechanics, addressing joint pain, and learning how to manage it.
Another foam roller benefit is your capacity of realign joints, and bone structures. Imagine dropping all your body weight over a foam roller, meanwhile rolling your back, from tail bone to upper back. The release, and wellness are unmeasurable. It became very clear to me that this practice helps you with spine lengthening. You gain height, manage joint pain, improve breathing, and posture.
Another benefit is how foam rolling helps detox your body. It helps release toxins that have been trapped in your muscles (cellulite between other things). It works like a lymphatic massage. Another benefit is how it breaks down fascia. A connective tissue that traps your muscles together in a not ideal alignment. Consequence of improper posture, or long hours at the sitting down position.
The foam roller helps me improve my fitness, and wellness goals. It gets me into practicing breathing, being present, releasing tension of my body, and mind. I do it meanwhile watching a movie. Hanging out with people. Before going to bed. Avoiding emotional snacks. Improve posture. Or to help overcome joint pain.
Join my Body Alignment classes every Monday at 7:30pm, and Wednesday at 12pm. I am looking into adding more foam roller classes because I truly believe in my holistic approach towards fitness, and wellness. Not sure how to use yours? Reach out to me, and I will assist you in this journey.
