You all are probably not interested in this. I did post earlier this month with William Hurt's passing. His video with Jane Kosminsky that introduces the Alexander Technique. I found this about a year ago and find myself thinking about the corrections that are taught almost daily. Whenever I catch myself slumping.
I found the YouTube video again. It's an hour and 15 minutes. Dry and fascinating at the same time: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-IoFyr-PSNM I'm interested. It would be nice to find a permanent fix. A constant state of being vs trying to remind yourself constantly. Thanks for the other links. |

I prefer a softer long foam roller. Melt Method sells them, but you could probably find a cheaper soft one elsewhere. Maybe OPTP?
I had one that was hard as nails and it was too much. (I'm kind of bony.) My favorite foam-rolling workout is: Flexible Warrior Volume 5.0: Foam Roll, Stretch and Recover She alternates rolling with stretching. I have also found that a short foam-rolling session before cardio and strength workouts seems to give me more stamina.

This thread reminded me of a video I saved a couple of years ago. Dr. Yoav Suprun uses the McKenzie Method to help his patients. It is well worth watching.

I do have that Flexible Warrior workout! It is good. Laura Roxenburg (sp?) also has a foam roller program that I've been interested in.

I have this also
Flexible Warrior Volume 5.0: Foam Roll, Stretch and Recover and was using it for a while. But now that I have Peloton I seem to use those foam rolling more as they are short 10-15 minutes. Some are just foam rolling and some are rolling and stretching which are the ones I like. I have three size foam rollers and use the long and medium length one more. I have been getting back into rolling it hurts but is so good. |
