Please join me in appreciating the delightfully weird and fascinating Gil Hedley, anatomist, as he explains why it isn’t necessary to torture yourself with a foam roller.
Content warning – Gil Hedley primarily teaches human anatomy with cadavers, and this video features views of a donor’s partially dissected legs in order to show the consistency and texture of the IT band. Working with cadavers has been a very important part of my education as a massage therapist, but I am aware it’s not for everyone. I’m deeply grateful to donors and their families.
