BODYROLLING ONLINE COURSE

Regularly Massage

Your Whole Body

This is a new, healthy habit you can learn to do yourself at home to massage your whole body. Don’t just focus on the sore areas, this is a good way to get your whole body realigned and balanced out.

Be careful around injuries!

There is ‘good pain’ and ‘bad pain’. Good pain feels sore but like your body needs it to release as it is tight. Bad pain feels like you shouldn’t have done that. So avoid that experience by working carefully around injured areas. If in doubt contact me first and double check with your doctor or physio. I want you to become injury free rather than aggravating existing injuries.

Ideally do a little every day it is a great habit to get into. It compliments your yoga practice because the ball is able to get right into tight joints to loosen them up. Also works really well as a warm up or cool down after sports or exercise preventing you from stiffening up after. You can do a little every day or you might like to do a bunch of videos together when you have free time.

So thank you for being here and I really look forward to doing this with you!

Increase Vitality With Bodyrolling

I am so delighted to have you here to learn some Bodyrolling. It is great for releasing tight muscles from housework, gardening, sports, desk work and all kinds of general stiffness, aches and pains.

1. BODYROLLING BACKS OF LEGS

How to roll out tight muscles…hamstrings and calves using the ball down the backs of the legs.

2. BODYROLLING FRONTS OF LEGS

How to roll out tight quads, hip flexors, shins and front of feet and ankles.

3. BODYROLLING INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF LEGS

Using the ball is a fantastic way to free up tight groin muscles and IT bands. This video is for the inside and outside of the legs, great for improving flexibility in the hips and great for knees. Great techniques to know and by now your legs should be feeling in pretty good shape!

4. BODYROLLING FOR TIGHT HIPS

Great way to loosen up tight hips and glutes. The ball is a fantastic tool as you can get it right inside the hip joint to free it up front and back of hips. Enjoy!

5. BODYROLLING ABDOMINALS

Balancing on the ball means using more core muscles. These techniques massage and release the lower back as well as creating long lean tummy muscles. Fantastic and easy to do!

6. BODYROLLING THE BACK

Feels like a sports massage on your BACK. Good CORE WORKOUT too! Enjoy feeling lovely and relaxed at the end.

7 (a). BODYROLLING SHOULDERS AND IT BANDS

This is the side routine. It works to free the ribs, increase lung capacity and improve breathing. It does this by freeing restrictions in the neck and shoulders due to old injuries, repetitive stress patterns, tightness, tension and poor shoulder alignment. Doing the side routine helps correct your alignment so you can stand up straight with ease! How cool is that!

7 (b). ROLLING UP THE BACK USING THE BALL

After rolling the side line you should roll up the centre of the back, on the spine, to allow the torso to lengthen fully. This routine will develop core strength and also create intervertebral space, length and integrity of the spine.

7 (c). FOAM ROLLING THE BACK

Using the foam roller as a massage tool to release the back. Fantastic for posture and getting the back and shoulders back into alignment. A quick and simple routine you could do everyday to prevent neck and shoulder injury.

8. BODYROLLING CHEST & NECK

Fantastic for relaxing tight muscles and correcting your neck and shoulder alignment. Really important to help you avoid injury. It’s so important to breathe deeply while doing these routines to help release the chest area. It should feel really nice getting into all these tight spots. Enjoy!

9. BODYROLLING HANDS

You can follow routines using tennis balls or frozen golf balls to release tension in our hands and up into our arms. Great for sports like tennis or golf. Good for people who sit for long hours on the computer and massage therapists like me! I think our hands get so neglected so give them a treat and stretch them out. Really good for stiff tight joints, repetitive strain and preventing arthritis.

Great way to wake up the feet and improve your balance and gait. Learning how to walk correctly benefits your whole body. Also good for circulation and releasing tightness in legs and ankles. So many good reasons to work on the feet! Enjoy!

I am going to show you the “Miracle Ball” method so if you have those balls use them. If not I am going to talk you through a few options and then we can do video b) together to align and release your back. You are in for a treat!

It’s never the end though when it comes to rolling and stretching out your body. Unfortunately if you stop you stiffen up and your aches and pains come back. To maintaining your health and wellbeing make it a healthy habit you enjoy every day and keep it up.
