Yellow Treatment Ball for self myofascial release.

Self myofascial release is a very important part of achieving your goals.

It helps to maintain/further your progress made during your MFR treatments.
It will benefit your progress in future treatments.
It helps you take action when new or old pains come to visit.

Along with this, SMR opens the door for you to pay attention to yourself. To tune in to how your body is feeling when treating and noticing how it feeds back. The more you allow yourself to lean into and learn from what you’re feeling, the deeper your treatments will become and the better the results will be.
