creates pliable and resilient tissues. I’ve tempered this client for years with the goal to keep her tissues healthy as she advances into some of the most insane yoga poses I’ve ever seen. Tight tissues seem to tolerate very little pressure. Pliable tissues seem to take the weight.

I love pairing voodoo floss with body tempering for the lower leg and the forearm. Here is a runner fighting a nagging calf cramp. Give it a try!
