PRODUCTS I RECOMMEND

MY FAVORITE WATER - ALIVE WATER
We are mostly made of water.  It's so important to keep our bodies hydrated so we have adequate water needed for our essential  metabolic functions!    I love the idea of drinking untainted, spring water loaded with natural minerals  (rather than treated,  municipal water).
 Added bonus: Alive Water delivers, and  happen to have beautiful flower of life artwork on the glass jugs.

​TOOLS TO KEEP YOUR BODY FEELING GOOD BETWEEN SESSIONS:
​MASSAGE BALLS & FOAM ROLLERS
I explain a bit about what I like about each roller and the individual balls in the section underneath. 
Click on the 2 buttons below for links directly to products..

​The MEDIUM SILVER ball is available direct from  Yamuna.  All the other balls/rollers can be found both from OPTP or from Amazon --the price ends up being the same from either site once you factor in shipping.  (I don't get kickbacks, just sharing information.)​

My List of Roller Options & Balls on Amazon

9" Silver MED Firmness Ball - available from YAMUNA

MORE INFORMATION ABOUT EACH OF THE TOOLS:
​
4" SOFT FIRMNESS BALLS (especially for glutes & sacrum)
These are great to release fascia and stuck fluid in glutes and sacrum, which allows lymphatic fluid from the legs to flush properly.  I like to inflate one of them a little more, to get a little more push back.  You need a pump to inflate. (If you don't have one, ask me, and I can inflate it for you. )

• OPTP Franklin Smooth Ball Set - Adjustable Firmness Massage Ball: Balls are 4" in diameter. Set of 2 Latex and palate free.  

9" MEDIUM FIRMNESS SILVER BALL (especially for inner thighs, and upper chest/clavicle)

• YAMUNA 9' Medium Firmness Ball.  Great all around tool to open, relax and wake up tight tissues. I especially love to use the ball between my legs to open up the adductor muscles, or face down where the pectoral muscles attach at the clavicle. This also opens up some of the lower neck attachments, creating upward space in the front line. 

FOAM ROLLERS 
​I recommend OPTP Brand therapeutic grade rollers with a matte finish, which grip the tissue nicely.  ​These are all great options and each of them have different effects on the body. I have them all and use them for different purposes. I highly recommend trying a softer roller than you are accustomed to, so you can experience what it feels like for your tissue to relax and release around a softer tool.  Sometimes less is truly more. It's something that must be experienced to understand.  I could say more, but I don't want to bore you.  Just ask, if you have any questions. 
Also, if you want a more in depth understanding of using the rollers &/or  balls, we can schedule an appointment!

•  6”x36” OPTP Medium/Standard  density roller --feels fairly firm, and has good grip, will break in over time, it's just not as brutally firm as a black foam roller. 
•  4”x36" OPTP Medium density roller -- smaller 4" diameter, softer than a 6" diameter. Somehow soft and firm at the same time.  Great for working the legs. It allows you to stay lower to the ground, which is really helpful  for clearing legs. The medium density (although at the 4" thickness, still has good pushback) really allows the muscle and fascia to melt around the roller in a wholly unique way.  
•  6”x36”OPTP  Soft Density roller -- plush & squishy soft roller if you are sensitive and want a gentle ride. Even if you aren't sensitive, you will find that the softer surface allows you to work in a different way.  It's more general, and allows a broader plane of tissue (facia & muscle) to relax around the roller.
