FASCIA RELEASE WORKSHOP 2017

Some of you may recall that I ran a few foam rolling workshops a couple years back. I have had such overwhelming positive interest in this area from clients, customers and friends about foam rolling: why do you do it? what is it? how do you do it? I often explain and showcase the benefits of fascia release through foam rolling and rubber balls to my clients in my one on one health coaching sessions and they are blown away by the benefits. I love to move and I love sharing what I know and what has benefited me, so I have teamed up with PT Michael James of Primal Fitness to show you the what, why and hows of releasing fascia in this upcoming workshop.

---

Since I started fascia release a few years ago this is what I have noticed in my body:
•    My injuries have dramatically reduced
•    My osteo-skeletal issues have minimised
•    My flexibility has improved out of sight despite doing less stretching
•    My recovery after intense interval training has improved
•    I am able to manage and resolve the vast majority of my muscular-skeletal niggles myself

... and, most importantly, when I foam-roll consistently (a few times a week at a minimum) I am pain-free. For someone who spent most of their teens, 20s and 30s in chronic osteo-skeletal pain, I can’t begin to tell you the sheer ecstasy of being pain-free. Moving to a nutrient-dense wholefoods diet, being well hydrated, sitting less, sleeping more, being more mindful, quitting long slow steady-state cardio and simply moving how our bodies are designed to move, all made profound improvements to my ailing health, but fascia release (through foam rolling and rubber balls) has, without a doubt, taken it to the next level. It was the last missing piece of the puzzle in my osteo-skeletal malaise.

The cost of the 2 hour workshop is;

- $70 if you bring your own foam roller (short to medium length preferable) and fascia release ball.
- $80 if you bring your own foam roller and we will order a fascia release ball for you to keep AND use in the workshop.
- $110 if you bring your own fascia release ball (e.g. made by Ironedge) and we will order a foam roller for you to keep AND use in the workshop.
- $120 if you do not have your own ball and roller and we will order both of them for you to keep AND use in the workshop.

Foam Rolling Workshop: TUES 13th Oct @ 7:30pm OR TUES 20th Oct @ 7.30pm

You may recall that I ran a few foam rolling classes earlier this year. I had such overwhelming positive interest in them and numerous requests to run some more for those who missed out. So back by popular demand I am running some more foam roller workshops for you all this term!

Since I started  foam rolling a 1.5 years ago this is what I have noticed in my body:

•    My injuries have dramatically reduced

•    My osteo-skeletal issues have minimised

•    My flexibility has improved out of sight despite doing less stretching

•    My recovery after intense interval training has improved

•    I am able to manage and resolve the vast majority of my muscular-skeletal niggles myself

 ... and, most importantly, when I foam-roll consistently (a few times a week at a minimum) I am pain-free. For someone who spent most of their teens, 20s and 30s in chronic osteo-skeletal pain, I can’t begin to tell you the sheer ecstasy of being pain-free. Moving to a nutrient-dense wholefoods diet, being well hydrated, sitting less, sleeping more, being more mindful and  switching to interval training as opposed to long slow steady-state cardio, all made dramatic improvements in my ailing health, but foam rolling has, without a doubt, taken it to the next level. 

I have had a lot of interest and enquiries from clients, customers and friends about foam rolling: why do you do it ? what is it? how do you do it? I often show it to my clients in my one on one health coaching sessions and they are blown away by the benefits. I love to move and I love sharing what I know and what has benefited me, so I have teamed up with my PT Sean Sheridanto show you the what, why and hows of releasing fascia using foam rollers and rubber balls in this upcoming workshop.

Sean Sheridan is a professional Strength & Conditioning Coach with a passion to strive for superior human movement. His clients over the years include professional athletes as well everyday people wanting to get the best from their bodies.  A very important part of his coaching is striving to maintain high performance throughmyofascial techniques and mobility work to get the best results in the healthiest way possible. Sean is also an endurance athlete and has competed at a high level in various Ironman Triathlon events in Australia, Japan, South Africa and UK over the past years.  You can follow him on Instagram @resultspt.

The cost of the class is dependant on whether you bring your own foam roller and rubber ball. For those who bring their own foam roller and rubber ball the cost is $45 per person. For those who don't have either a rubber ball or a roller we will pre-order one for you to have available on the night which are then yours to keep in which case the cost is an additional $8 for the ball and $45 for the roller. For those who can bring either a ball or a roller the cost will be $45 for the class plus either $8 for the ball or $45 for the roller as the case may be. When booking in please advise whether you will need a ball or a roller so we may place orders.
