Self-care for stress relief is underrated. That’s why we know we should, we know how good we’d feel, yet in the end, it’s often the last thing on our list.

I’ve been using foam rollers since 2002, when the Sports Club/LA in Boston was the first place I’d seen them. I was ending my career as a combat consultant, a self-defense specialist. Also, I’ve used tennis balls, knuckles, weights, fingers (and on the occasional stubborn tissue, pvc pipe and roller hockey balls, ouch!) These days, I prefer Yoga Tune Up Therapy balls.

The point is, and now the NY Times is telling the world about it in this article, that self-care is good for you, and cheap enough for the  masses!

Go get ‘em (at Power Systems, Perform Better, and your local Sports Authority…)
