OUR FIRST FOAM ROLLING WORKSHOP

This blog post is going to be far more personal and less informative than all of our other blog posts are, but we are so excited about our workshop that we had to let everyone know about it!

Last Saturday, we held out first Foam Rolling/Self Myofascial Release Workshop in our clinic here in La Mesa. We had four clients show up, which was super exciting for us! Sydney, one of our therapists here, also came to show her support, and of course, the teacher of the class, Angela, was there. 
All in all, we had a great turnout with just the right amount of people to make a fun filled class that was personalized for each client.

Angela started the class by delving into what foam rolling is and why it is so important. After some talk about the informative part of Myofascial Release, we jumped right into the fun stuff!

From our toes up to our heads, we worked on our major muscle groups and common problem areas for our clients that attended the class. During this time, Angela made sure to find out everyone's limits, so that she could adjust each exercise to fit each person. For example, one of our attendees had a rotator cuff problem, so they found it difficult to hold themselves up for some of the exercises. Angela found a way for them to still perform the exercise without putting unnecessary strain on their
shoulder.


Another fun part of the class was getting to try out and learn about all the different types of foam rollers. This helped to figure out which one worked best for each person. With this information, we
had two attendees go out and buy a foam roller after the class!


As the class came to an end, everyone was sent home with a Self Myofascial Release tool and a worksheet showing pictures and descriptions of all of the exercises we went over in the workshop.

We were so happy to have a great class full of clients with awesome attitudes and a desire to learn and benefit from foam rolling. We hope more people have the chance to experience our awesome workshops in the future, and if you would like more information about foam rolling, click here to visit our Introduction to Foam Rolling.
