Self Massage

The issues are in the tissues. Our bodies are constantly scanning our environment to determine our level of safety. This is a process called neuroception. Even when we have not experienced physical trauma, the body unconsciously works hard to help us survive the things we go through. This work results in patterns of muscle tension, constricted breathing, or even frozen fascia as an automated response to the stressful environment we live in. When we don't recognize these patterns and give the body an opportunity to soften and relax, the chronic tension can take over our physical form and cause pain or other undesirable symptoms. Self massage using Yoga Tune Up therapy balls can help. Learning how to roll out your tissues can reestablish a signal of safety from your body to your brain and back again, softening you back into the present moment.
