Foam Rolling: Principles and Practices (Level 1; 4 hour)
New trigger point course coming to Houston! Self-myofascial release (SMR) has been shown to relieve muscle and joint pains and improve flexibility and range of motion. Â This 4-hour workshop teaches the fundamentals of myofascia, reviews the latest SMR research and then dives into the Trigger Point Performance SMR movement philosophy using the GRID foam roller. Â Participants walk away with practical knowledge and hands-on experience coaching and cueing movements that can be scaled to all-levels of general health and athletic clients for pre- and post-workout foam rolling.
Why do we love Self-Myofasical Release (SMR) at Valeo PT? Response from Paul – This is literally one of the first techniques we teach every new employee, volunteer, or student who comes through ValeoPT+FIT. Â
Number 1, it puts the power of rehab and recovery back in the hands of the person who owns the body. Â Our rehab philosophy is simple, we coach you on how to fix you, you must participate! Â This is why we love techniques that our clients can use at home, because they can work on their body’s a little all day long. Â
Number 2, SMR speeds the rehab/recovery process by increasing blood flow, decreasing muscle tension, and helps to break up adhesions/scar tissue. Â This is a nice article from Men’s Health.Â
Number 3, it is such an easy technique to incorporate into your daily life. Â You can literally carry one of TpTherapy’s Massage balls in your bag and get some release against your cubicle or office wall. Â It only takes 1-3 minutes. Â My personal favorite is the GRID, which will be the focus of the course this Sunday. Â I love that it is hollow, so I can stuff my training clothes in it and it then goes in my carry-on luggage. Â
Lastly, here is an intro video on the GRID.
We look forward to seeing you on Sunday!
This is open to the public and is a Level 1 course so there are NO prerequisites to attend.
