What if we said you have the power to Relieve Pain, Prevent Injury, Improve Performance? If you knew that you could prevent a disease from crippling you 20 years from now, wouldn’t you do everything in your power to avoid the triggers that result in that disease? 

 

Pain is an Epidemic

It prevents you from performing at your best because it robs you of concentration and power. But pain is preventable, treatable and within your grasp to heal.

Mobility awakens your body’s resilience to erase pain, relieve stress, and improve performance. Take healing into your own hands.

 

Stretching only focuses on lengthening short and tight muscles. Mobilization, on the other hand, is a movement-based integrated full-body approach that addresses all the elements that limit movement and performance including short and tight muscles, soft tissue restriction, joint capsule restriction, motor control problems, joint range of motion dysfunction, and neural dynamic issues. “Hard bodies” soften to the sensation of self-care. In short, mobilization is a tool to globally address movement and performance problems. 

 

Self-massage is a fundamental practice for fostering internal anatomical listening skills and enhancing embodiment. Through mobility, people have triumphed over chronic pain, illness, emotional trauma and  prevented surgery by using the transformative methods.

 

Fascia and Proprioception

Fascia is the ubiquitous living seam system in your body that threads your tissues to one another. It is just one of many types of connective tissue in your body, but it is the tissue that plays the biggest role in mobility. 

 

Wherever the Therapy Balls roll, they impact your body’s fasciae.

 

Your posture follows you like a shadow, and it has a ripple effect into everything you do. Unfortunately, many choices lead to degenerative vertebrae, bulging disks, herniated abdomens, torn knee cartilage, or stress fractures in hips, to name a few examples. These very preventable musculoskeletal ailments are hurting not just us, but also our wallets, our healthcare system, and our economy.
