FAQ’s

Question Are there any requirements for taking the Roll Model® Method Certification Training?
AnswerThere are no prerequisites for taking this training, however, trainees should have a sincere interest in understanding basic biomechanics and fascia science as it relates to movement and mobility.
Question I’m a fitness professional / clinician / massage therapist; is this program right for me?
AnswerFascia research is still currently a niche topic that is still in its relative infancy. Self-myofascial release research is even a younger field of study. The team at Tune Up Fitness are involved with this nascent research space and distills new findings into actionable applicable techniques on an ever-evolving basis. Evidence based and best-practice approaches comprise the self-massage applications and tools within the Roll Model Method. Clinicians and therapists will expand their current knowledge base. The course allows their body and being to experience a self-care practice built around test/retest and constant innovation. Additionally they will find themselves amongst an interprofessional cohort with common goals to empower their clients/patients with self-care healthcare.
