Thank you so much, David, for a wonderful release. I sometimes do this, yet dedicating time really helped, along with your explanation.

I would love to see different segments for shoulders and possibly forearms. I say segments as short and targeted is better than one long, singular session.

So helpful for hip release at the end of the day! Thanks David!

Great feedback, everyone. It sounds like an intro video to trigger pointing is what's needed. I can do that, hopefully within the next month.

OH David - Thank you. I've had the therapy balls for a while and have been winging their use. Not too much on the Net on the How To. This is a wonderful add on to your PNF vids. More please on the trigger point therapy!
Little note on the double balls on the low back, I sub'd in a var. of Setu Bandha Sarvangasana instead of pulling knees to chest. I felt I had a little more control in maneuvering around and finding those "sweet sensations". Well Done! Keep 'em coming.

Namaste, Connie
