SHERI, CO

I began to see how my body was not working together as a whole, and therefore, causing undo stress on the weaker parts while the stronger core was not engaging.  The isometric exercises I was doing were not connecting my body but rather just working individual parts.  It was like a light turned on.  So,  I continued with individual Root Fx classes and committed to performing the tension release exercises regularly, even though I did not have immediate relief.  It was like changing the course of a battleship, but each week I gained some momentum, and the pain began to lessen, my spine became more flexible, and my posture began to change.  As my awareness and understanding increased, I began to use my body better in daily activities.   Now, my neck, back and hips are pain free.  My body is resilient and strong.

THE 3 TRAINING METHODS OF RooT Fx

Tension Release Training

Tension Release Training (TRT) is a revolutionary fitness method designed to release muscle and joint tension, while simultaneously increasing strength, flexibility, and range of motion. This unique training technique focuses on teaching you how to release tension in your joints and transform tight, rigid tissue into more functional, adaptable tissue. By actively engaging muscles and consciously relaxing joints, TRT improves muscle tone and promotes overall mobility. Experience the benefits of Tension Release Training for enhanced strength, flexibility, and pain relief.

RooT Fx Mobility Training

RooT Fx Mobility Training is a transformative approach to eliminating tension and pain patterns in your body. This life-changing training addresses negative patterns caused by repetitive use, poor posture habits, weak muscles, or previous injuries that impact your mobility. By targeting the root causes of discomfort, RooT Fx Mobility Training helps restore strength, flexibility, and function, improving your overall well-being and performance in daily activities. Discover how our targeted mobility exercises can help you move pain-free and regain control of your body.

RooT Fx Strength Training

RooT Fx Strength Training (RST) is designed to stabilize and strengthen weak muscles and stiff joints after you’ve released tension patterns through our Tension Release Training. This essential step reinforces the positive changes from TRT, helping to create lasting results. RST is a progressive training method that follows the release of tension and the increase of your range of motion, focusing on strengthening muscles to support your newfound flexibility and mobility. Enhance your strength, joint stability, and overall function with RooT Fx Strength Training for long-term, pain-free movement.
