Description

If your body is in need of a release, this class is for you! I’ll walk you through trigger point therapy, which is useful for treating skeletal muscle immobility and pain. Focusing on myofascial release, our session will relax contracted muscles, improve blood, oxygen, and lymphatic circulation. We’ll also stimulate the stretch reflex in muscles. Interestingly, there are many small muscles that affect your daily life. What's unique about trigger point therapy is that you can apply it for pain that you’ve had for years. It can help with arthritis, joint pain, headaches, tooth pain, and even the quality of your vision. The class will be adjusted to your group's needs. I'll explain the importance and benefits of this therapy, how it works, and where your pain is coming from. To release each trigger point, we’ll use different sizes of balls. For example, a golf ball, tennis ball, lacrosse ball, softball, or baseball. We’ll also use a foam roller. So make sure you have these tools ready! There are some household tools that you can use as alternative for therapy ball - e.g. a hard potato, lime or onion. We can also use your hands, fingers, and elbows for some trigger points. Last but not least, you’ll gain valuable knowledge that you can use in the future to easily relieve the pain that concerns you at home.
