upper legs

If you’re a runner or running flat out, this four-day series of 20 minute classes will release tension in front, back and sides of the big muscles of your upper legs - the quadriceps and hamstrings. 

Buy it once, press play where you are forever.

If you can lie down and breathe, this class is for you.

The magic behind all of this work is the unwind method of fascia decompression using only your body weight and the (un)Block massage tools. 

Don’t have (un)Blocks? You can get a set here or start with rolled up towels secured with a couple of elastics. No pain, no gain left the gym floor a long time ago. Pain relief shouldn’t cause pain so it doesn’t need to hurt or be intense to work.

ON-DEMAND RELIEF OVERVIEW

You’ll focus on your upper thighs to mobilize your tissues by:

- releasing tension in the back of your legs (hamstrings, calves, Achilles tendon)

- de-bulking and loosen your thighs: front, inner, outer (quads, adductors)

- creating length in the front of your hips (hip flexors) and upper thighs (quads)

- gently work the trigger points along your outer thighs (IT band)

- opening your chest (pectorals) and abdominal muscles as we multi-task to support the lower body work with upper body positions

In these four positions x four minutes you’ll be opening, releasing, and softening tension.

Day One

• your chest,
• your abdominal muscles, 
• the front of your thighs,
• your hip flexors, and
• the front of your shins

Day Two

• your outer thighs -  IT band, 
• your inner thighs - adductors, 
• your outer ankles, and
• your inner shoulder joint.

Day Three

• your upper chest,
• your lower abdominal muscles,
• your inner thighs - adductors
• your hip flexors
• back of your thighs - hamstrings, and 
• your calves or Achilles

Day Four

• your front shoulders,
• your abdominal muscles, 
• your outer thigh - quadricep
• your inner knee
• your inner ankle
• back of your thighs - hamstrings, and
• back of your heels - plantar fascia

If you’ve got tense muscles, you’ve probably got weak muscles. Tense muscles are often weak muscles - they’re not getting full range of motion or possibly even depth of motion through the entire muscle. This series will help to soften and mobilize your core before we rebuild and lock it down with some stabilization moves. 

Other benefits of this fascia decompression class include:

• supporting your digestive system
• stimulating your eliminatory system
• encouraging lymphatic drainage at major drainage points
• enhancing flow of blood & oxygen throughout your body
• decreasing stress, increasing calm
