Release & Relax..get some balls..



Balls - green ones and blue a mini roller - part of a goody bag from APPI who hosted an Eric Franklin http://www.franklin-methode.ch/content-n6-sE.html               workshop over a weekend in London - I have wanted a pair of green balls for a while (stop sniggering you!)  now I have them and am using them on myself and on private clients, they are about 10cm in diameter, and are great for relaxing and releasing tension anywhere in the body, soooooo effective!




They are just lovely when placed under the feet and you rock back and forth on them, and even more divine when placed under the shoulders and you sink back into them..they are around £10/£15 a pair, not cheap, but worth every penny.
I bought some tennis balls for class to create a similar effect, and will use them in an effective stretch and relax class over the easter holidays.. OK... so not as luxurious as the emerald green balls, but getting there!

Eric has published a few books on his method , they all make very interesting reading, he knows so much about the body and how it works, if you get a chance to attend a workshop..GO..he has been teaching for many years and will be retiring soon, but has many teachers trained in the method to carry it on.
He also runs Franklin Method teacher training courses, and theres one planned for 2011 in the UK.
I gave my clients a spikey massage ball for christmas..these are also great to rest and roll feet on to break down the tight fascia in the feet, releasing tension, relaxing the legs and hips, also under the shoulders and down the arm, great if you sit at a computer for hours on end or sit at the wheel of a car most days..get relaxing & releasing..you wont regret it!
