Rossiter
Stretches aren't appropriate for everyone.
You must
be able to get up and down off the floor by yourself. Rossiter
stretches are done either on a mat or a low platform.
If you
are taking any painkillers - whether over the counter or prescription
- you need to have them out of your system enough to judge the
amount of weight being used for stretches accurately. (Call
me! We'll discuss it!)
Any other
medications you might be taking can possibly have an effect
with Rossiter, so ask!
Are
they Medically Right for You?
For the
most part, common sense prevails. Here are some things to consider
(rest your mouse over the links for more information):
- As with
massage, work should never be done on an area with open wounds,
rashes, sores, contagious diseases or cancers.
- Special
precautions are taken if you have any type of hardware,
implant or patch - including:
- Have
you had a cortisone injection in the area you want to focus
a Rossiter Session on?
- If you
need help with Low Back Pain and have had cortisone shots
OR surgery on your low back, we need to approach your pain
differently. Expect to work twice as hard for 1/2 to 3/4 the
results that someone who hasn't had shots or surgery would
be able to achieve because your connective tissue system has
been severely compromised.
- You
want to allow 6 months for scar tissue formation after surgery
before trying Rossiter System®
Workouts.
Make sure your doctor has released you for all activity!
- If
you have cancer, it's generally recommended you be in remission
before starting Rossiter System®
Workout
Sessions.
- If you've
ever had Guillain-Barré Syndrome, you'll need to check
with your doctor before undergoing a Rossiter Workout.
If you
have any doubts, please check with your doctor before trying
a full workout. I'm happy to talk with you about any questions
or concerns you may have at any time.
