I’m really enjoying these podcasts. Even the name you chose is great. Lots of thought provoking conversation and I appreciate the linked references. I’m glad this one concluded on a more positive note as I continue to utilize self-massage tools myself and with some of my students. In my specialized trainings (and inhabiting I might add) an aging body “Individual results may vary” is an important point imo with just about any tool, or practice.
We’re so glad you’re enjoying it!
