Tummy Table

I believed in self-myofascial release before I ever had a product to sell.

My first real experience came after a Muay Thai fight when my leg was swollen, bruised, and barely bending. The options were basically a soft foam roller… or straight PVC pipe.

The soft roller helped.

So naturally, 22-year-old me thought:

“If soft helped, harder must help more.” 😂

The PVC hurt like hell—but when I stood up, I could move better again.

That moment shaped how I approached recovery from then on.

Dumbbells. Kettlebells. Soup cans. Balls. Rollers. Whatever gave me the pressure and leverage I was looking for, I experimented with it.

Then massage school pushed me even further toward deep tissue, trigger point, and sports work.

I’ve always been practical that way.

I want to feel the tissue change.
I want movement to change.
I want something I can test and reassess.

That’s where my SMR obsession started.

Long before the books. Long before the products.

Foam rolling vs. stretching? I don’t think it should be either/or.

For years I stopped telling clients to “stretch” or “do yoga.”

I started saying one word:

MOVE.

If you sit all day, move differently.
Put your body into positions it hasn’t seen all day.
Wake up what hasn’t been participating.

Even getting into different foam-rolling positions creates movement and length through the body before the roller ever does anything.

In the video I use a resistance band as an analogy:

Tie knots in it. Stretch it.

The band still lengthens—but the knots change how that tension gets distributed.

That’s how I think about old injuries, guarding, adhesions, and restrictions. Stretching may temporarily change tension and make you feel better, but if the underlying restriction never changes, the same pattern can keep showing up.

That circles right back to Bailey’s First Law of Internal Motion:

What stays stuck tends to stay stuck until something provides enough input to create change.

So don’t just stretch harder.

Move. Load. Release. Reassess.

I’m not trying to reinvent science.

I’m trying to combine what already works.

This client has a lumbar fusion and double hip replacements. Today that meant adapting the session with the Tummy Table, massage gun, cupping, positioning, and hands-on work based on what his body could tolerate.

That’s how I look at recovery.

I’ve spent years moving through massage, corrective exercise, personal training, combat sports, and recovery work. Each industry has useful tools. The problem is when they stay trapped inside their own lane.

I’m not claiming I invented cupping.
I didn’t invent percussion therapy.
I didn’t invent traction.
I didn’t invent self-myofascial release.

I’m combining those principles into a system that makes sense to me—and applying them differently through the Tummy Table and Recovery Series.

Same science. Different application.

This video is a small look at the curriculum behind the foam rollers without giving away the parts I’m protecting.
I read through a lot of the chapter structure, talked about the four-shape system, and why I believe the education matters just as much as the product itself.
And to be clear: if someone buys me out, this is all or nothing.
They’re not just buying a patent.
They’re getting the products, curriculum, books, teaching material, and the content ecosystem built around it.
I don’t want to spend the next 20 years protecting one idea.
I want to sell it, hand over the machine, and go build the next one.
The final two prototypes should be wrapping up soon. If everything stays on track, I’m hoping to be in a position to start taking orders by the end of October.
This is finally getting close.
