„Rolle dich schmerzfrei“
Fasciae and muscles — the keys to freedom from pain.
Over 90 percent of pain can be successfully treated without using medications or operations. We have come to this conclusion after more than 30 years of research and treating pain. The results we have seen in the practical application of our successful pain therapy support that. In our book, we introduce you to our foam rolling massage and targeted stretching exercises, which form the backbone of the self-therapy that has been tried and tested thousands of times. In a comprehensive, informative section, you will learn about the background of natural pain relief. It does not matter whether you already are in pain or whether you want to take preventive action: detailed instructions will provide you with step by step support and ensure that you achieve the best possible results with the specially developed techniques.
The muscles and fasciae are of crucial importance for this pain therapy and self-treatment. After the foam roll massage, which relaxes and stimulates the metabolism, you train them using stretching exercises, which, when done regularly, can often help pain disappear permanently. The massage combined with the exercises therefore offers you the opportunity to get control of pain everywhere in your body on your own and to remain pain-free.
- Do you frequently suffer from pain that disappears by itself? With our program, you can prevent this pain from getting worse and becoming chronic.
- Are you someone who suffers from pain, but who has already seen a pain specialist? Then with this book, you can reinforce the successes you have achieved through your therapy.
- Are you someone who lives in a health-conscious manner, but is wanting to prevent pain from becoming a problem in the future? Then we recommend that you integrate our pain-free exercises into your life as a preventative measure.
- Do you frequently suffer from sore muscles or experience some stiffness in different parts of your body? With the help of a foam rolling massage, you can activate these areas in a targeted manner and encourage the regeneration of your muscles and fasciae.
- Are you often stressed or tense? Then you can use our technique as an effective relaxation method for yourself or your partner.
This is how you do it — foam rolling massage for the back

Currently over 3000 partner therapists in Germany, Austria and Switzerland treat back pain using their method.
Take a look (German):
Rolling surface — that the foam roller is used on
Stand with your back to a wall. Divide your lower back into a left and a right half.
Tools: mini massage ball, midi massage ball, midi foam roller — rolling technique: spiral, line
With our mini massage ball, use small spirals to gently roll around the border of one of the halves. Move from the outside to the inside in smaller and smaller circles, until you have reached approximately the center of the lumbar region. Use the appropriate pressure to move your body against the wall in the circles that are to be targeted on the back. Massage the other side in the same way.
Around the lumbar spine you can also — depending on how it feels — roll up and down, parallel to the spine.
You will be using our midi foam roller and moving your body more up and down rather than from side to side. If you do not reach the desired spot, just reach behind you and place the ball where you want it to be.
