The Roll Model Method is a soft-tissue conditioning, self-care fitness format that uses the various Roll Model® Therapy Balls for self-myofascial release (self-massage). This may include breath work, CheckIn and ReCheck, elements of alignment, anatomy instruction and mental awareness (such as conscious relaxation).
The four different Roll Model Therapy Balls used within the Roll Model® Method are the YTU Original Therapy Balls, the Therapy Ball PLUS, the ALPHA Ball (and ALPHA Twinset), and the Coregeous® Ball. Each provide a different size and density to help target various body areas uniquely and allow for varying pressure needs to help craft an individualized approach.
If you are interested in pursuing Trainings around The Roll Model® Method, we provide three different Training Programs:
An 8 Hour program focusing on the science of pain physiology and fascia fundamentals that teaches six sequences using the original YTU Therapy Balls.
An 8 Hour program with a focus on crafting innovative moves and sequences using all four types of TRM Therapy Balls.
