So I haven't seen any research that like they did the rolling and then, you know, they check it five minutes. They check it 10. No time sequence here. They check it 30 minutes. And then you're like – you're also wondering, well – I bet that stretch at five minutes helped with the stretch show up at 30 minutes.

But then they didn't say, okay, now go ahead and go to your classes and come back in six hours and let's recheck you. So I haven't seen something like that. But I certainly know anecdotally with the clients that I work with. We usually are rolling for a considerable amount of time. We're not just doing a two-minute roll and then hoping that our range of motion has changed for the day.

We're doing strategies that are really trying to affect certain conditions or certain systems of the body or certain pain patterns. And people will have... Hours and hours, if not days, of improvement after some of these very deep and disciplined ways of decompressing certain areas of the body or fluffing tissues, as I like to say, offloading compacted tissues.

Let's talk about that.

Okay. So there's a few different things to talk about. One is tool hardness.

Yes. So stress transfer mediums are what we call the tools. This is the mechanical term, the scientific term for self-massage tools or self-myofascial release tools. So you have foam rollers. You have balls of various hardness. You have roller sticks. You have little like pokey things. And hardness matters to everything. your body because you are a living being.

You are an organism that has responses. It doesn't feel good to get poked with something that's hard unless you can attenuate your response to that.
