Tune Up Your Active Body: Physical Therapy infused with Love
This 3 part series focuses on self care techniques implementing myofascial release with the aid of therapy tools. The human body is a miracle in motion, until it’s not. Injuries, genetics, habitual ways we sit, stand, work, sleep all create challenges. And these troubles compound as the years accumulate. This is the norm. Neck and shoulder, back and hip, knees and feet share very common and often easily treatable patterns of pain and dysfunction.
Physical therapist Bella Dreizler has been helping patients heal more than 50 years. Join her for this self-empowering Tune Up series or drop in to a single session. More info here
There are (3) therapy tools used in this process, and they will be available in class for trial use and purchase.
3 foot foam roller: when it comes to myofascial release, using correct density, so important. Bring your own and know that four densities will be available for you to try.
4 inch smooth ball: best tool for psoas release and gentle exploration of problem areas. Psoas release, strength, length and asymmetries will be a major focus.
Wrapped tennis balls (2 pair): a gift to you so you can go deeper if you are ready and access the sticky soft tissue below the knee and between elbow and hand.
