Using soft foam rollers and other non-evil tools with attention and skill bring release like you’ve never experienced. On the whole, I can’t recommend it enough. We need to take care of both our bodies and our brains to find relaxation and relieve stress. We must comfort ourselves when we are stressed, not subject ourselves to torture.
