Tools for Self Massage

When scar tissue build-up in the soft tissues is neglected long enough, problems often result. Through hands-on massage or the use of a self-massage tool, these fibers are broken up and reabsorbed, thereby restoring the original state of the tissue.

Getting a professional massage is worth its weight in gold but can be costly. That’s why self-massage is so beneficial. You can extend the time between professional massage visits with just a little bit of effort daily.
