Open Potential Bodywork

Slug days are real. And sometimes the answer isn’t more willpower — it’s being with your body in THIS moment 🐌

Here’s my 8-minute jiggle plate sequence when my body feels heavy, stiff, or just… blah 😑 . The vibration sends waves through your fascial system — waking up tissue, moving lymph, and telling your nervous system it’s safe to shift gears. Or maybe just be glad that you did a bit of movement and didn’t become a couch troll 🧌 right away!

The seven moves 👇
1️⃣ Stand & squat — whole fascial web activation
2️⃣ Squat hold — hydrates fascia through load
3️⃣ Plank — connects core to fingertips
4️⃣ Plank with knee ups — unsticks the hips
5️⃣ Arms on board into child’s pose — thoracic release
6️⃣ Seated, breathing into back ribs — lymph + lung expansion
7️⃣ Seated hum — vagus nerve reset, nervous system softens

Which one have you never tried? 👇
And if you have a jiggle plate fave that’s NOT on this list — I genuinely want to know. Drop it below. 🌿

(I use the Life Pro Jiggle Plate — not sponsored, just genuinely in my rotation.) I did write a blog on it- see link in bio if you’re really curious👌 🤓

Everyone’s teaching you how to land your foot. 🛬

But landing takes care of itself when you learn how to leave the ground. ✈️ ✨

The cue that changes everything: peel your foot off the floor — heel, ball, toe — like Velcro lifting off felt.

When you do that, something almost automatic happens. Your knee extends. Your hip opens. Your low back lengthens. And your stride finally matches the height you actually are.

This is one of the most overlooked patterns in how modern humans move — and once you feel it, you can’t un-feel it.

Drop a 🤙 below if this is the first time you’ve heard walking taught from the lift instead of the landing.

Your body is smart. When tension has been there long enough, your nervous system stops seeing it as a problem — it starts using it as structure.

That gripping in your hip, the chronic hold along one side of your spine? To your body, that might be load-bearing.

So when it releases in a session, you don’t automatically feel better. You feel… uncertain. Like the floor shifted. Like you don’t quite know how to walk.

That’s not a bad session. That’s your nervous system realizing it needs a new plan.

This is why Rolfing® Structural Integration goes further than releasing tension — we differentiate the structures that have gotten stuck together, then we integrate them back into whole-body movement. Your body isn’t just looser. It knows what to do with the space.

The results last because we’re not just treating symptoms. We’re helping your body find a better way to organize itself.
