No Rolfing for me

For everyone who thinks Rolfing, Deep Tissue Massage and otherwise painful bodywork is the way to alleviate that pain, please read below. I encourage further research on the subject.
The following is an excerpt from Job’s Body by Deane Juhan.

     “The very stress and anxieties which tend to produce muscular tension are the same influences which lower the thresholds and exaggerate the responses to additional pain or discomfort. Thus anything we do to cause local discomfort, or often even the hint of possible discomfort, reflexively tightens the contractions we are seeking to release.

     “Patience, sensitivity, and careful timing will reward the bodyworker far more than mere force, no matter what structural or functional end he wished to achieve. The client’s patterns of reflex contractions cannot be bullied into submission. In fact, the very act of bullying can only ignite more stretch and withdrawal reflexes.”

And as always I would love to help you move better and learn how to swing a kettlebell.

Super Bowl Sunday


Super Bowl Sunday!

The day of chips, dip and beer.  I would be the last person to pass judgment on those who care to indulge (trust me, I’ll be doing some indulging myself.) However come Monday morning – big time Kettlebell workout.  I plan on spending a lot of time doing Z-Health drills and a VO2 max snatch workout.

I would be happy to teach anyone interested how to do a perfect Kettlebell snatch.  Shoot me an e-mail.  SebastianRKC@gmail.com
