Self-Massage for the Outdoors is designed as a field guide for those who are active and away from their foam rollers and tools and need effective techniques to work on themselves. Hikers, backpackers, wildland firefighters, climbers, and other outdoor enthusiasts will find useful hands-on strategies for reducing pain, preventing injury, and enhancing recovery. 4 main techniques are used for the whole body starting from the feet and ending at the head. Joint mobilization, deep tissue massage, acupressure, and stretching are used in combination with each other for optimal healing and recovery. By using these methods one can experience decreased muscle tension, joint restrictions, and fascial adhesions that are held in the body after repetitive activity. High-quality photographs showcase each of the techniques used in the field without the need for an in-depth knowledge of anatomy. Self-Massage for the Outdoors offers the skills and instruction necessary to those who are looking for better recovery, health, and ease of movement anytime and anywhere.
