My clients love self-myofascial release. I’m thinking about putting together a kit for them. Ideas? How much? What should be in?
Myo-release is something that I teach clients and students slowly. I try not to give them too many options purposely. Even experienced fitness professionals can have difficulties properly performing self-myofascial release. And I have found it is best to allow clients and students to become proficient with one technique and/or piece of equipment for a specific area at a time. After gaining some experience, progress in learning will become more efficient. But it is important to be conservative when moving on to more intense or more difficult forms of any practice.
It is better to progress a bit slower than may be possible than it is to exceed one’s abilities and cause an injury. Learning how to do this efficiently takes time and experience. I feel that as experienced fitness professionals it is our duty to assist new fitness instructors in gaining this experience for the good of the consumer and the industry.
