Veronica was trained in the Roll Model Technique with Jill Miller in 2019. She is qualified in the Iyengar method up to Junior Intermediate level and is a Senior Instructor & Trainer with Yoga Alliance Professionals.
The Roll Model® Method is a self-myofascial release (SMR) technique that uses various sized therapy balls to address muscle and fascia restrictions, improve mobility, and reduce pain. It emphasizes breathwork, body awareness, and targeted techniques to release tension and restore optimal movement patterns.
Key aspects of the Roll Model® Method:
Therapy Balls:
The method utilises different sizes and densities of therapy balls to target various body areas and address specific needs.
Targeted Techniques:
It employs techniques like sustained compression, pin and mobilise, and contract-relax to release tension and improve tissue pliability.
Body Awareness:
The Roll Model® Method encourages participants to connect with their body, discover "blind spots" of tension, and develop a greater sense of body awareness.
Breathwork:
Conscious breathing is integrated into the practice to enhance relaxation and facilitate tissue release.
Individualised Approach:
The method encourages a personalised approach, allowing individuals to adapt the techniques to their specific needs and preferences.
How it works:
Find a tender spot: Locate areas of tightness or discomfort in the muscles and fascia.
Apply pressure: Use the therapy balls to apply targeted pressure to the identified area.
Breathe deeply: Focus on your breath, inhaling and exhaling slowly and deeply to help the tissues relax.
Experiment with techniques: Try different techniques like sustained compression, pin and mobilize, or contract-relax to find what works best for you.
Recheck: After releasing the tension, recheck your movement or posture to assess the change.
Benefits:
Pain relief:
The Roll Model® Method can help alleviate pain by releasing muscle and fascia restrictions.
Improved mobility:
By addressing tissue restrictions, the method can enhance joint range of motion and overall flexibility.
Enhanced performance:
Improved tissue quality and movement patterns can contribute to better athletic performance.
Increased body awareness:
The practice can help individuals become more aware of their body and its movement patterns.
Stress reduction:
The focus on breathwork and mindful movement can promote relaxation and reduce stress.
