Soft Tissue Mobilization with The Ready State

Soft Tissue Mobilization with The Ready State

When people stick to this practice, there are a few common themes in the results. First, that it’s easy to maintain. 10 minutes a night isn’t difficult to get in regularly, and that time adds up quickly; around 70 minutes a week is a substantial amount of soft tissue recovery. Second, people feel better, so the practice encourages itself. Athletes will do what works, and remove what doesn’t. Lastly, athletes tend to fall asleep faster and stay asleep longer, due to the relationship between soft tissue mobilization and the parasympathetic system. Essentially: soft tissue work is soothing, and helps your body shift into a relaxed state as you unwind in the evening.
