The Axle is different from the average foam roller and you'll see and feel the difference while following along with us during this video series. Safely and competently explore various regions of the upper and lower body while using evidence-based self myofascial release techniques. It's important to keep in mind how the nervous system can enhance our mobility and recovery results, while also steering clear of pain. IT Band discomfort? We explore other options rather than rolling the IT Band and causing even more pain and restriction.
You'll also be introduced to some pre and post myofascial release movement assessments to help you determine what works best for your body, how lymph nodes can play a role in us feeling better, and how self myofascial release works with many of the interconnected tissues. You'll be able to use some or all of these sequences in your every-day routine, warm up, cool down, and even on recovery day. Reduce your risk of injury, improve performance, recover faster, and be proactive in your self-care.

As a personal trainer, yoga teacher and corrective exercise specialist RAD is my go to! I use it multiple times daily with my clients and for my personal SMR needs. I never leave town without at least one!”
-Heather Hausman
SMR stands for Self-Myofascial Release, a technique where athletes use tools like the Helix, RAD Roller, and massage sticks to apply pressure to muscles and fascia (the connective tissue around muscles) to:
Reduce muscle soreness and tightness
Improve flexibility and range of motion
Increase blood flow and circulation
Speed up recovery after training or competition
