That's great
I don't recall seeing that before from past posts on Edgelow.
Maybe there is a "do not tell too much about the protocol" in the paperwork ? LOL
I do know Sharon Butler's programs have a "do not disclose or copy/share etc" type clause. Only the person that buys that program can use it. No copies made for others etc.
The advanced PT guy recommended the foam roller use for me.
He said everyone really should be doing this , esp if they do desk work or much repetitive /forward work.
He suggested just the laying on and relaxing - lengthwise on the roll for 15 minutes or so like the sketch I have on my photo profile page.
What are they having you do with the roll?
Some youtube vids show all sorts of rolling across for ribs, legs. back..

Yes Edgelow does have the 6' roller as well as pinkie ball, blood pressure cuff,
airbag etc. as props but I don't think it is so much of
"Do not tell too much about the protocol", but doing it incorrectly without specialised supervision can result in a lot of pain. Plus everyone can't do everything in his protocol , that is why you haven't seen it in the posts.
Every exercise of Edgelow's, even with the props involves diaphramatic breathing and it comes down to a lot of detail. Essentially first one has to train on the blood pressure cuff for a very controlled diaphramatic breathing so you don't go into pain before you can start his exercises.
It's different for everyone, each person has his /her own range of breathing they can work on and a specialist in edgelow's protocol has to fine tune it for the patient. It takes months for us to progress, but it even a limited range works and keeps the pain in check.
