Did you know we have more than one nervous system?  One of these systems has a lot of air space in the cultural conversation right now: the autonomic nervous system.  Most know it as that “fight, flight” thing.  Actually it’s two connected pathways---sympathetic and parasy

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

Ankles----a healing journey......

So this is an ankle story.  Though trauma can create sudden onset of ankle pain, this is a tale to remind us that these problems can arise very insidiously.  Aches and pains can brew on the back burner for a long time before manifesting as painful body parts.  “It came out

And I love the notion of celebrating that. Come enjoy some free classes. I'll be bringing rollers for a 30 minute tasty treat. Link to Roll & Release in the comments.

Sometimes we feel so all alone when our body is suffering aches and pains. We are actually suffering from the myth of the pain free body. I love this topic🙏🏼

The other night, in a closing circle of 30 students, I asked for a show of hands.  “Raise your hand if right now you are experiencing an absolutely pain free body.” Not one hand rose up.

Testimonial about Bella from S.C. in Utah: "A pickleball injury left me diagnosed with a low grade tear in my left calf. After exhausting my rehab options here in Utah, I reached out to Bella for a Zoom session. She had me perform a few movements for her own assessment. She then offered (and performed them with me) several fascia release techniques utilizing the foam roller. After the session, she emailed me a video recap. I proceeded to use the fascia release exercises and nerve flossing techniques every day BEFORE playing pickleball and found amazing relief. The ONE TIME I didn’t do the protocol prior to playing, my legs and glutes were just generally sore the next day. Her assessment was amazing as was her follow up. Here I am several months later still utilizing her techniques prior to game play 3-4 times a week…. pain free. Thank you, Bella!" Set up a consult and let's get together: https://www.bodyjoy.net/physical-therapy
