Roll Model Mama: Anatomy Locator

Let this Anatomy Locator lesson help guide you with a general tour of the muscles that you will touch and feel in your self massage and rolling practices.

In this video we look at each of the bones and muscles that are going to be impacted by your pregnancy. We examine soft tissues like the respiratory diaphragm, the trapezius and the thoracolumbar fascia, to name a few. We learn the basics of how each of these soft tissue groups function and how they can become strained, stretched or over worked during the course of your pregnancy. With this knowledge you will have a better understanding of how your body is changing, and how you can help it with self massage when aches and pain arise.
