Hey Supple Ones,

Today we are going after making sure all those posterior sliding surfaces are working. Remember, your body should feel like layers of silk sliding over steel springs. Too many times we see athletes that are matted down, hot messes. You know what’s funny about laminating the tissues of your legs? Nothing is funny about laminating the tissues of your lower body. Get the lacrosse ball/roller/Graston stick/pain stick out and go to town.

Hey Kelly what're you up to in Fort Lauderdale? Are you doing a seminar somewhere?

Looks like the weather here's better than you would have had it back in San Fran.

The band around the waist rips out a bit of hair every time I try it. Next time I will wear track pants.

This blog is intended as a jump off point for athletes to systematically begin to address their nasty tissues and grody joint mobility. Use at your own risk and stop if you think it's gonna hurt you, your spine is going to come out your throat, or your face goes numb. But, understand that you should be responsible for your own business. Don't wait until you need a new knee. Pony up.
