Less Pressure is better than More Pressure
When you roll out does it hurt too much? Does it seem like it never gets any more comfortable or pleasant? Maybe you are actually working too hard or using the wrong tool....
In the video clip below Jeff explains why less is more and you should be working smarter, not just harder:
Get the right tools in your toolbox to get the results you need. Get the know-how to work out your issues when you can and make that call to a professional when you need a little extra help. Over time the process of SMR should get easier to maintain and see results. If it isn't shoot, us a message and we'll help you get the relief you are seeking.
Muscles tighten up for a number of different reasons. Let's not make finding the solution more complicated than necessary.
Good luck!
