LEARN THE BASICS

Step-by-Step

STEP 1

Identify area to treat

Select which muscle or connective tissue feels tight, sore, or restricted. Common areas include quads, hamstrings, shoulders, calves, glutes, low back, shoulders, and neck.

STEP 2

Position Body Lever on target area

You are the fulcrum. You drive the motion. Place the wooden sticks (lever) around yourself so the rolling surface or pin-pointer is against the muscle/tissue you want to work on.

STEP 3

Add self-guided pressure

Gradually roll or press the sticks (lever) to start adding pressure. Use gentle body weight or adjust your leverage to increase pressure. Avoid using it on other people without proper training.

STEP 4

Use slow, controlled movements

Explore the lever, it’s very intuitive—twisting the rope to tighten for arms and calves. Alternate using sweeps, pin-pointing, and static pressure (holding in one spot for 20-60 seconds).

STEP 5

Breathe and relax to target muscles

Exhale as you apply pressure; this often helps with relaxation. Focus the mind on the area being worked.

STEP 6

Adjust angle, position, and pressure as needed

A little goes a long way. To access different muscle fibers, change the angle or orientation of the tool. It may help to bend a nearby joint or adjust your posture so you can better reach areas of concern.
