Similar to pilates but the massage offers more resistance to aid with deep stretches. Funnily enough my trainer who did it for me trained me in pilates so it went hand in hand. Sometimes we did 1/2 hour of pilates and then 1/2 hour of MFR, or on some days a full MFR session.
In the massage, the masseuse will hold your limb and gently pull it for 5 minutes, increasing the tension as it releases. It’s a rather non invasive massage apart from the use of some standard techniques on the neck, chest, feet etc. Very nice indeed. My legs would grow by a couple of inches after the session!
I love the Foreo Luna 2
@MelissaMary I dry brush prior to showering. Same sort of deal, lymphatic drainage and a nice way to exfoliate and encourage blood flow. I bought one with an extra long handle (like, 1ft long) on Ebay to help me get the hard to reach areas.
Hehe! @previousia I was an inch taller when measured at the doctors before and after a year of starting pilates and stretching, I was quite astounded. Apparently we are taller in the a.m and lose heigh throughout the day….gravity squishing us!
