Love testimonials like this....thank you M.E.
Hey Bella,
Here's another anecdote illustrating how rolling has changed my life (no hyperbole intended...). My wife and I were picking up our 3 year old granddaughter at her marvelous day care and I stumbled in a hole on the playground. I didn't actually fall, but my body seized up as I caught my body. By the time we arrived at home, my knee was throbbing as was my lower back; I could hardly walk and felt very, very weak and tentative in my movements: not a great way to be around a 3 year old. Luckily, my daughter has a hard, 3 foot foam roller and I had packed my balls. So, later that evening I rolled for about an hour: rolled as I breathed and listened to my body, it's aches and age. I then took a warm bath and went to bed. The next day I was sore, but mobile. I repeated the rolling again that night. By the next day (the 2nd after to stumble), I could hardly feel any pain or stiffness. So, here's an instance of listening to my body, deeply feeling the soreness and rolling with self love and compassion: no drugs, no docs. Now, almost a week later, I feel as good as ever. Thanks again, Bella. As I said, you're a life changer. https://www.bodyjoy.net/physical-therapy
