The Roll Model® Method Practitioner Certification

A 16-hour immersive self-myofascial massage certification training

This course teaches evidence based self-myofascial release (self-massage) principles and practices to enhance mobility, reduce stress, transform pain, and build body awareness. It empowers you to personally adopt and teach simple yet highly effective self-care regimens for pain-relief and improved performance to individuals, groups, and special populations.

The 2-day program features two contrasting days of science, creativity, programming and self-massage embodiment.
