What's a Smartroller®?

The Smartroller is the only patented foam roller, and was designed by Stacy Barrows for her patients. The word soon got out and OPTP.com (the largest foam roller distributor) licensed and made the SR to Stacy's specifics. Learn more here. Below are two sample classes that were recorded to try with your Smartroller to improve your moves.

Lessons

Here are two lessons that can be performed while working with your Smartroller. Please do them only if you are able to lie on the Smartroller comfortably. Take the necessary rests you need to observe your comfort, and refer to the Smart Guidelines for learning. Once you have done these lessons, you can skip the directions and use the Smartroller as a part of your daily routine. If you do not have a Smartroller, you can purchase one at these sites: Amazon or OPTP.

Align Your Spine Using Smartroller

Ideal alignment allows you to balance more easily in many directions, which helps you sustain dynamic control with your posture. When you move efficiently, your body moves as an integrated network using a self-alignment system. Because this is not a static process, you need to tune this process through movement. Feldenkrais describes efficient movement as “freeing an action of wasted energy”.

Optimal alignment also requires a central support integrating your pelvis with your spine. When you use the SMARTROLLER with the action of rocking and focused attention to the effects of gravity, your spine is free to move from left to right to create this central organization. Through this process, you will free unwanted muscular tension and reduce wasted energy
