Share Button

If you have painful, tight, or just niggling areas of the body, SMR (i.e. foam rolling/trigger point/massage/manual therapy style of release on the body to decrease pain, tightness, lack of mobility) might be an answer. In this video I talk about:

What Is SMR? (0:54)

How To SMR (1:30)
Why SMR (1:43)
What To Do After SMR? (2:03)
How To SMR Pt. 2 (2:26)
Recap (3:10)

PLUS give you three drills that you can practice by yourself and thus, learn the principles and logic behind SMR so that you can go off and implement the knowledge into other areas of your body.

The Drills:

The Foot Release (3:30)
The Shoulder Release (5:50)
