ROLL MODEL®️ METHOD TRAINING
March 31 - April 2 | Carleton Place, ON + LIVESTREAM!

Want to learn how to take care of your tissues, ease your aches and pains and improve the health of your body?
Wanna know what's going on beneath the skin when we roll and what techniques to use when?
Want to teach empowering classes and workshops your students will benefit from for years?
Do you want to learn how to give rolling homework to your bodywork clients to enhance the outcomes of your treatments?

And do you want to have a ball while you're doing it? (See what I did there 😉)

Come join us for a weekend of rolling, either in-person or online. And, for reals, we're going to have some serious fun, while we get completely nerdy about soft tissue!

Also... what's cool about this training, is that I span it over three days so we get time to deeply embody the practice of rolling, while optimizing retention of the loads of information you'll receive.

Dumpster Diving and the importance of movement.

I could get into and out of the dumpster to collect cardboard for the garden because I do squats and pull ups. I couldn't get into the dumpster without squats or out of it without pull-ups.

recognized the importance of relating our yoga/exercise practice to how it can impact our daily lives, because this is what really freaking matters - being able to do something you want or need to do.

I love how this concept is an integral piece of the training. I actually think of this all the time (it's borderline a problem friends) - this concept of what I'm able to do because I move my body constantly and intentionally train.

I'm training to keep youth and ability in my body.

Woo hoo!

The sphincter of Oddi aka the hepatopancreatic ampulla is the valve between the liver/gallbladder/pancreas and the duodenum (the first part of the small intestine). Bile, pancreatic juice and a plethora of digestive enzymes help to emulsify fats, neutralize stomach acid and break down food into tiny particles so they can be absorbed into the blood stream.

When the Sphincter of Oddi is in a dysfunctional position (for potentially hundreds of different reasons - injury, pathology, surgery,...) in can present as:
- poor digestion
- multiple food intolerances
- bloating, gas and tummy pain
- unexplained fatigue, especially between 1 and 3 pm
- duodenal ulcers
- gallstones
- excessive hunger

Seeing a trained visceral manipulation therapist for an assessment and treatment and getting your guts on a Coregeous ball can help reboot this valve and ensure all the important gut juices can get to the right place so you can absorb all your nutrients so you can function at your best.

Grab a Coregeous ball or book online with me at www.caseyeaston.com.

Every diaphragm on my table gets assess and worked on. They all get treated a little differently, but every diaphragm needs a little reorganization to prevent unnecessary tension on some very important structures:

the abdominal aorta - the artery the feeds EVERYTHING below your ribcage with blood. If it's pinned, your blood pressure goes up, just like a kinked garden hose.

the inferior vena cava - the vein that brings ALL of that blood back to the heart and lungs for gas exchange and detoxification. If it's squished, you get light headed and swell below the ribcage.

the esophagus - that brings food from your mouth to your stomach. If it's kinked, you can get a hiatal hernia, heartburn or have a hard time digesting food, especially protein.

the thoracic duct of your lymphatic system - helps return all the extra fluid in your body back to your heart. If it's blocked, the fluid stays stagnant like a pond and can breed bacteria, not to mention it's affects on the cardiovascular system.

the vagus nerve - your primary parasympathetic (rest and digest) nerve that's responsible for relaxation, stress reduction, digestion, sleep, pleasure, etc. If it's tethered, ain't nothin' working like it supposed to. It's like the the chill out power's out.

If any of these structures are compressed by diaphragm tension, you've got issues with your cardiovascular system, immune system, nervous system, digestive system and the result is muscle tension in your low back, neck and shoulders, just to name a few things.

This is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to diaphragm dynamics... essential organs sit directly on top and right below this muscley trampoline as well, but I'll save that for another day.

Do you journal? If you don't, you could and it might even make you feel awesome!

I journal for a few reasons:

- it keeps me sane
- it prevents me from putting too much energy (usually the negative bitchy kind) out into the world
- it guides me to the root of whatever is running through my mind
- it motivates me
- it preps my mind for meditation

Read on to learn my favourite place to journal and a couple tips to get you started!
