SMR Clinics & Mini-Clinics

2-Hour Introduction to SMR Mini-Clinic

You will be learn how to approach the primary and secondary muscle regions that you should be working on through your SMR homework. (Do your homework!) We will cover 6 to 10 of the 19 regions during the course of the class, with the class participants playing an active part in determining which areas we focus on.

Not all joint problems can be fixed through SMR, but you will learn what to look for so you know when to buckle down and do more self-care, and when you should pick up that phone and call for help.

Imagine 90 minutes of massage…it’s similar to that!

All participants receive 2 hours of hands-on instruction in the Alexander Method of SMR, a digital copy of the Fundamentals of SMR manual (Written instructions with full-color pictures and anatomical illustrations for all 19 fundamental SMR exercises in a 85-page workbook) and a high-density SMR ball.

Additional educational materials are available as well as products from Rumble Roller, Trigger Point Performance, massage-grade marble or basalt stones, and some of the other balls, blocks and rollers we have selected as appropriate for SMR.

How to program SMR into your training is a big part of this class, and you’ll walk away with a much deeper appreciation of how to recognize whether you need more roller or ball work, more rest between SMR sessions, or whether you really must enlist the aid of professional assistance.
