it is funny how you say it is soo great and dont even give examples of it or where to learn about it. Sorry for being an asshole but still I think we all would like to learn more about this.

You should put those bookmark share buttons on your site, you’d be surprised how many people actually use them! Unless you already have them and I’m just blind

***** Look at the end of the article. You will find them all there******

[...] pieces on these topics, one of which is a must read. For an introduction, make sure you read Core Competencies. Mark Young makes a good argument about testing the roll, but personally, I think quality is more [...]

Jaden,

My reply sounded terse. I should have said that’s how I have it currently framed. How are you using/applying it in your setting?

Best regards,

Jaden,

With rolling, it’s not necessarily about easy or difficult. It’s about neurodevelopmental sequencing. If they can multi-segmental roll well in any quadrant there is no point in doing it as they have the appropriate patterns available and should be training further up in the neurodevelopmental hierarchy.

When doing supine to prone and prone to supine rolling begin by using lower body only making sure to roll in both directions. Typically as a beginner performing 5 reps rolling supine to prone and prone back to supine, making sure to complete both sides is a good initial step. Start by doing lower body rolling and then to upper body rolling. Most individuals find lower body rolling to be a bit easier. Carson, I agree Chaitows and Liebensons books are excellent choices, It is my opinion that anatomy of breathing is a good introductory book, before moving on to more in depth extensive books.

Anatomy of Breathing is good, but is by no means the best book out there. Chaitow’s book is outstanding and chapters in Vleeming’s book and Liebenson’s book are excellent.

Santiago, if you go to http://www.BoddickerPerformance.com and search for breathing, you’ll find a number of good pieces concerning breathing, and one coming up this week on rolling starting with multisegmental rolling supine to prone, which is the first choice in rolling progressions as it is the first place in development.

Volume is dependent of if it looks good in rolling. If you can get rolling to look “perfect” you need to immediately get yourself doing something in 1/2 kneeling or tall kneeling as a progression to solidify it with more advanced progressions. Breathing volume can be as few as 2 good breaths or as many as 10 minutes continuous if you want homework. When people breathe well in X position, we always move them to an advanced progression that may involve some form of “core stability” exercise while teaching them to breathe well through the abdominal brace. In those situations, volume is often dependent on posture to be maintained.

Best regards,

great article

I’ve seen the rolling on your axis and it was really hard at first, in the youtube link you can find a regresion and a progresion

are there anymore you can do?

any recomendend number of reps and sets? seems like somthing you should do trhoughout the day

what about breathing patterns?

any links, articles, videos?

have you ever tried total motion release?
http://www.totalmotionrelease.com/index.html

you can download the begining excercise, but just those will help with a lot of problems

Also, for those of you interested in breathing patterns………buy the book “anatomy of breathing”

The video attached above is an advanced progression, you first need to start with upper and lower body rolling. Learning to use the upper and lower torso’s individually to roll before tying them together. The starfish pattern with a gray cook chord would be another progression as well.

The rolling that the article was discussing is NOT foam rolling. Here is an example video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2X-HJ-VTnPM

All,

In this article, that photograph may be somewhat misleading as the rolling to which I refer is vastly different than what is pictured. Yes, foam rolling is important, but I am referring to developmental patterns of rolling where a person is prone or supine and rolls to the opposite side of the body using the head and neck as a driver.

The above site has some pictures on how to focus on different areas.

EliteFTS sells a 24inch foam roller with DVD. It have it and use it in the evenings after training. I used to use rolling pin on my IT bands for years.
