When I 1st started training, this THE "smash and floss" techniques from Becoming a Supple Leopard were a big hit.
Some of it still use, but I have forgotten so much! And I didnt NEED to personally know how to utilize them back then.
I still chase my clients around with a lacrosse ball.
I even keep one in my bag- BUT ✋️
There is so much more!!
After years of heavy lifting and life happening, understanding my own challenges with muscle tension is teaching me entirely new ways to unlock my own body. I can't believe I ever let this practice slip! AND NOW I HAVE ALL THE TOYS TO DO THIS 😆
The Science FYI:
When we hunt for those stubborn "knots," we aren't just rolling away pain. We are using targeted mechanical pressure to:
✅ Desensitize the tissue and signal the nervous system to relax.
✅ Restore blood flow to dehydrated, restricted fascia.
✅ Improve joint range of motion without sacrificing power or strength.
Whether your tension comes from hard training, poor posture, stress, or just the mileage of life—checking yourself for knots is essential body hygiene. It isn't just about flexibility; it’s about maintaining the integrity of our tissues so we can keep moving well.
The "voodoo" works, and I'm diving back in so I can share exactly how to unlock yourself, too.
