The Self Care for Massage Therapists DVD is designed for massage therapists, but is helpful to all people whose jobs require quite a bit of physical activity.  This video covers massage for you, foam rolling active yoga, restorative yoga and meditation. The sections range from 10 to 45 minutes.  They are as follows:

Massage for you:  Dawn Lewis leads you through a series of massage moves you can do on yourself.  Focus is given to the hand, arm, and shoulder, but attention is given to the whole body.  Spontaneous Muscle Release Technique (SMRT) and Muscle Energy Techniques (MET) are used to help you alleviate pain and enhance mobility.  Equipment needed:  you will need your own hands and elbows, as well as a light resistance band and a rolled up towel.  Length: 45 minutes.

Foam roller stretching:  Patti Schuneman leads you through a set of stretches on a foam roller.  This section begins with moves to unlock your quads, ITB, hamstrings, and feet using the foam roller.  Then fluidly moves into releases for the hips and lower back before ending with the shoulders and arms.  Equipment needed: 1/2 foam roller and full foam roller.  Length: 22 minutes.
