Janet Herman's Relief Through Rolling Testimonial
I am a huge proponent, regular participant, and proud Pro-Certified Relief Through Rolling Instructor since 2015. Yet still, from time to time, I experience powerful personal reminders of how extremely effective this amazing self-care program can be.
May 2018 - For about a week, I had been having significant shoulder, arm and hand pain. Four days ago, I had a massage with little relief. Since I was off work for the weekend, I rested, did some cardio, (which had been lacking), some Relief Through Rolling here and there, and yoga. Again, little relief. I was so drained of energy from the pain that on Sunday evening I skipped the rolling and went to sleep. The next day, I had an adjustment. No relief. Since I had to work, I took a med, and saw my first client. Three hours later, still no relief. I then had about an hour before my next client was due to arrive, and so I spent about 40 minutes doing the entire Relief Through Rolling protocol. COMPLETE RELIEF!!! I still felt nearly 100% after seeing 2 additional clients, and maintained that relief. Even as a believer, I was amazed. (Again!) WOW! I LOVE RELIEF THROUGH ROLLING! It has helped me to resolve chronic bilateral shoulder pain of over 10 years, carpal tunnel syndrome, acute headaches, stress, anxiety, and other pain conditions. I never thought that after more than 25 years as a Massage Therapist, I would feel better now than I did 20 years ago. It has no doubt allowed me to have a lengthy career in a profession that I love."

"I learned foam rolling in 1985 the harsh old way and am so happy the research shows great myofascial results with Relief Through Rolling."

"Now, my rave review for your session. It was SUCH a help to me. I keep hearing your voice: Relax, Gail, soften, RELAX, ENJOY it, it's a GIFT to you...I have heard such before, but Wednesday, I GOT it! Some more moments each night (lasagna pan and snow angels, along with the tailbone) are already making a wonderful difference! You do what you do SO beautifully; your knowledge, patience, expertise, creativity, did I mention patience :). AND, my PT (met with him this afternoon) wants an appointment with you ASAP...so please expect to hear from him soon."

"I roll nearly every evening and it improves my quality of sleep and how I feel when I get out of bed in the morning."

"Dear, Janet, sorry I was not able to take time to thank you for your wonderful RTR class two weeks ago. The school year is coming to an end and I am really extra busy these days. Nevertheless, I do my rolling exercises at least twice a day and I definitely benefit from it. It is a real breakthrough for me and I am grateful to you for introducing me to this amazing program. I will be in France in the summer and I will buy a roller over there to continue doing it and also show my sister who is interested in it."
