If you’re game to take charge of your own mobility, a fantastic “cookbook” for learning to do deep-tissue work on yourself (and a book that I highly recommend for every athlete looking to enhance mobility) is Becoming a Supple Leopard, by physical therapist Kelly Starrett, whose excellent website is MobilityWOD.com. In the book, Kelly goes into methods for self-deep-tissue work, like pressure waves, contract and relax, banded flossing, smash and floss, paper-clipping oscillation, voodoo flossing, flexion gapping, and a ton of other highly effective techniques that can literally keep you immune from injury and require little more than a lacrosse ball or a barbell.
Beyond Training
Ben Greenfield
How different the world would be if each parent could say to the child: “Who you are is terrific, all you are meant to be. And who you are, as you are, is loved by all of us. You have a source within, which is called the soul, and it will express itself to you through what we call desire. Always respect the well-being of the other, but live your own journey, serve that desire, risk being that which wishes to enter the world through you, and you will always have our love, even if your path takes you away from us.” ~ Hauntings, p. 129
The Best of James Hollis

He spent ten days in and around Phnom Penh and left feeling good about his new friends’ ability to work the gene machine. It was the flight home, on January 10, 2020, that he found unsettling. He changed planes again in Guangdong—the province from which the Chinese doctor, the superspreader of SARS, had come. The airport was transformed. There were now lots of security people wearing masks. Passengers were required to step, one by one, inside an acrylic stall and be scanned for fever. “They weren’t fooling around,” said Joe. “I thought, What the hell is going on?” He’d never seen a fever box and, as he stepped inside, he had a feeling in the pit of his stomach. “I thought, These people know something we don’t.”
