Well, I got in a fight with my wife and I didn't eat and I twisted my knee back in Vietnam and who knows, right? But what are the inputs that I have to self-soothe and desensitize? And it turns out a ball and a roller is a really good one. So I can use those to help myself feel better. Did that solve the problem? Did that solve two weeks of shitty sleep?

Did that solve my poor nutrition and lack of fiber? Did that solve the fact that I don't feel safe in this environment? No. But it got me a window of opportunity where I can go feel better in my body. Is anyone against that? No. Okay. So what we can also say is, hey, this would be a great way to do what? Restore your range of motion. A one tool and a system of tools. to get you to do what?

Have normative range again. For whatever reason, your lats are super stiff. Again, it's more complicated than that, but sometimes it's not more complicated than that. If I just get you getting some input into there, maybe I can restore that range of motion or create a window where you can go use it again.

Lastly, I would say is that it's a wonderful tool to decrease DOMS, delayed onset muscle soreness. So in the evening, you blow out your quads, do a little soft tissue work, and what you'll see is maybe that's blood flow. Maybe it's non-threatening input. Maybe it's just massage. Maybe it's just the parasympathetic input that massage has, touch, right, just down-regulates.

Maybe those are the reasons I feel better. But the bottom line is, is that a good use of your time? Yes. Are all techniques on the roller the same? No. Right? And I think that's where we've lost our minds is that if you just rolled up and down on your calf, didn't do anything. I'm like, yeah, well, you just, what are you doing? Right? What if I rolled side to side?

And so suddenly we can start to layer in some really complex thinking around this. How about this? You have a roller out and I put my calf on there and I start rolling side to side. Should that be uncomfortable?

That hurts. I don't want to do that. That sucks.

Now the face of LFD. Low fiber density. So, you know, what I think we can do is let's establish some guidelines for people. Because this is one of the ways that we can feel better in our home without bourbon, without ibuprofen, without THC. Like, we need to give people some tools that don't, like, that aren't just— Without having to buy a sauna, if you can afford one, great.
