SUMMARY:Tennis Ball Therapy (In-person & Virtual) w/ Diane Saccone
DESCRIPTION:Tennis ball therapy uses tennis balls to release movement restrictions\, restore mobility\, and reduce pain by targeting the connective tissue network\, rather than muscles alone\, making it an affordable and effective tool for muscle care. \nKey benefits include: -Pain relief as pressure from the tennis ball stimulates the release of endorphins\, the body’s natural painkillers\, which help block pain signals -Improved flexibility\, by reducing muscle tightness promoting a better range of motion-Enhanced circulation through stimulating blood flow\, bringing more oxygen and nutrients to the targeted muscles. This improved circulation aids in the removal of metabolic waste products\, reducing inflammation and promoting faster muscle recovery-Muscle relaxation & Reduces stress: The gentle pressure and stimulation of the skin promote relaxation and reduce stress levels\, contributing to overall well-being. \nSelf-massage with tennis balls is greatly enhanced by stretching\, which further increases circulation and re-educates the muscles to rest for a longer length. Stretching allows muscles to be softer\, more fluid and longer in their resting state. Combining asana with self-massage is particularly useful for those of us who have muscles that for various reasons (injury\, overuse\, or years of inactivity) resist stretching. \nIn this workshop\, we will use tennis ball therapy to unlock the feet and gluteals\, lengthen the hamstrings and adductors\, open and relax the shoulders\, arms hands and neck to the muscles along the spine which will restore balance to the body and the mind through the action of prana. We will begin at the bottom of the body and work our way up to the head and then finish our time together in a relaxing 10 minute savasana. This practice is safe for all age levels and abilities. \nAn e-workbook with the exercises we will be doing will be provided prior to the workshop. Bring two tennis balls and a sock to hold the tennis balls to the workshop. 5 CEU’s will be offered to yoga teachers and qualifying health practitioners. \n \nDiane Saccone\, MS MT (ASACP) ERYT 500 spent the majority of her career in the field of Clinical Laboratory medicine changing careers after her move with her husband to Western North Carolina in 2005. She also developed the active older adult program at the YMCA of Western North Carolina where she served as the Director of Healthy Aging Initiatives and traveled through the Y of the USA as a subject matter expert on aging; lecturing and teaching evidence based falls prevention programs across the country.
