I think I propose like myofascial... What did I propose?

Well, I think massage is actually... Okay. I think that's actually a right word.

We'll acknowledge... Like manipulation.

Exactly, myofascial manipulation. I described how I came. A lot of how I came about the rollouts that I do, so many of them are about stress regulation, but they happen to be so helpful for people with pain and so many other different syndromes. But I wanted to point out about this spinal decompression exercise.

What's so notable, by the way, it's called the lumbar hammock for short, but in Body by Breath it's called spinal decompression via the lateral raft. It's really embarrassment. I can't believe I over-titled that, but it's just a lumbar hammock. You're just setting up a hammock. But there is a researcher...

A professor in Wisconsin who is forming some cohorts right now in the firefighter community, she's had an N of 1. She has a firefighter that she's been working with who has been doing these type of rollouts, very gentle, non-painful rollouts. Not aggressive rolling.

And she was really having trouble with a stress test that they regularly have to go through, I guess, to maintain their certification. They have to run up stairs with a heavy pack, many, many, many flights of stairs. And she kept breaking down. She was having difficulty in her preparation for the test. And the professor said, give me a month.

Let me work with you on some stress relieving techniques. And she shared this and a number of other body by breath techniques. And she was able to run the test with energy to spare and with no pain. And so now she's creating a cohort of firefighters to test out some things. But the same researcher has also been doing this work

in a much older population, in a population of folks with Parkinson's disease. And all of them say they have immediate postural improvements, their tremors stop or diminish greatly. So there are a lot of other autonomic nervous system benefits that this type of work does that isn't just necessarily tissue dependent.

But there are other shifts, I think, that are happening throughout the body that are notable and can be very helpful and low to no cost. If you don't have balls like I'm describing, what I've done as a substitute is I've rolled up yoga mats. I mean, most people can find yoga mats or something. Towel or something. Yeah, but the grip is important. So you need to find something to put over the towel.
