built by a patient to fill a gap
all my healthcare providers fired me
Five back-to-back concussions. 20 months of post-concussion syndrome. Labeled "treatment resistant" with helpless shrugs from my entire care team.
I became client #1 - again. Found my own answers, built my own tools, developed a method that works for the body I have.
I'm not a PT or MT. I am the patient who figured out what patients need between appointments to help manage their pain and mobility challenges - and built the tools to make it happen.
a better physical therapy tool
do we really need a new tool?
I certainly did. Foam rollers and lacrosse balls hurt enough that I often avoided them and they left bruises. It was painful for my hypermobile joints to support my bodyweight and roll out the muscle. My neck, bracing from injury and trauma, hurt while rolling. Lacrosse balls aren’t a fit for chest work on my body.

about the creator
I trained in fascia release as a certified Block Therapy Instructor, am a Biology of Trauma professional track student, and trained in a neuromuscular reset technique based in applied kinesiology.
I was successful as an international energy analyst despite no official training in engineering, geology, or geophysics.
My background: Former Chartered Financial Analyst (CFA). Economics degree. VP-level international energy research. Then a manufacturing startup. Then five concussions. Now this.
I'm a synthesizer, not a clinician - which is exactly why the tools work for people who've tried everything else. Well, that and activating thixotropy — sustained compression converts the hyaluronic acid in your tissues from a dense gel back into a lubricating fluid. The physics works whether you believe in it or not.
