Traumatic Scoliosis, Mood, Overall Health
I was taking Pilates classes at Renew when I heard about a new class called The Fascianator. I had just found out that I had traumatic scoliosis and was trying to find resources to help with my chronic pain. I have been doing spinal rehab with a chiropractor but my muscles were still very tight and painful which caused a lot of anxiety and fatigue. The classes with Jennifer have been a game changer! Rolling 1-2 times per week with the zoom classes over the past few months has helped so much with my muscle tension, mood and overall health. Also Jennifer makes each class a joy to attend. From day one I was welcomed like family and encouraged all the way. Her positive energy, kindness and humor is a healing force in itself and helps when rolling out those tight spots!

Pilates Instructor, Chronic Back Pain, Shoulder Injury
When I first heard about the Fascianator method I was intrigued but at the same time I thought “is just another rolling method”. The Fascianator method has help me with back pain, with my shoulder injury and with better performance in my Pilates practice! Before I started, I struggled with back thoracic pain and over all body tightness, I have been rolling for about 3 month 3 times at week and the result is priceless. Now I live with less back pain = happiness, better performance while exercising and I noticed reduction of cellulite on my legs! I can’t never go back to regular rollers. Jennifer, who is knowledgeable, fun and kind has taught an depth understanding of fascia and the importance of taking care of it, I truly believe is the missing link in the wellness world. Try it! You'll love it!

Hamstring Pain, Overall Aches and Pains
I have been an active person my entire life, always trying new workouts -but never without getting muscle aches, tendon aggravations, IT band issues, plantar fasciitis, tennis elbow. I became frustrated that “getting fit” this is just “normal” to have aches and pain and part of the aging process" I have always stretched before and after workouts and used a foam roller on occasion, but nothing ever seemed to work or stick for very long...until I was introduced to Jennifer and The Fascianator Method. I have had chronic hamstring pain (for years) in my right leg that would burn painfully by sitting/driving/going for a walk, basically doing day to day necessary activities. I started rolling a few weeks ago and after 3 sessions the pain is basically gone. I know that this is going to change my life, my mindset and my ability to still do the workouts I enjoy- no matter how “old” I get! It has become the best part of day! This method is for EVERYONE and I feel so thankful to have discovered it!

Lower Back Pain, Mobility, Flexibility
I learned about The Fascianator method from Andi at Renew. She suggested it as a good addition to my PT, Pilates, and workout routine to relieve lower back pain. I’ve been rolling for about three months and it’s a game changer. I’ve struggled with lower back pain for years, and this is the first time I have found something that significantly reduces the pain. I have increased mobility and flexibility and addition to the pain relief. I am a believer!

Range of Motion, Surgical Scar Tissue
I learned about The Fascianator Method from the instructors at Renew Physical Therapy & Pilates. I was encouraged to try it to help increase my range of motion and reduce scar tissue due to recent surgeries. I have been "rolling" now for a couple months and feel great. My range of motion and my flexibility have improved significantly. Jennifer is passionate about The Fascianator Method which makes her an excellent teacher!

Self Empowerment with "the missing link"
I have enjoyed seeing the transformation and self-empowerment this method provides my patients! This provides additional self education and reflection as to how the fascia influences other areas and mechanics of the body. As a Chiropractor, I am passionate about the role of healthy fascia as the missing link in fitness and health.This isn't just about mobility, but assists the patients in understanding the emotional, physical, and chemical components of health! Jennifer has been a wonderful contribution to the office through her classes! She seeks to educate and link what people are experiencing in their health to the fascial system.

Tight Hips, Glutes, Quads
I have been rolling with Jennifer Smith since July 2020. I previously suffered from piriformis issues as well as tight hips and quads. Too many ballet barre classes not enough stretching and hydrating of my fascia. I also do a daily yoga practice. Karen H
Cancer Survivor, Scoliosis
I LOVE the Fascia Fitness Online - On-Demand 24/7 option! I have scoliosis, fused disc, hip flexors issues just to name a few, and and am a breast cancer survivor. The Fascianation Method and The Fascinator has helped me feel so much better! Unfortunately with my job and time zone, the live zoom classes don't work for me very often, so having the choice to roll when I want to is a blessing! I use the full body rollout #2 a lot and I Love it! I also really like modifications for the trap video. The PDF handouts have been really helpful. .

Herniated disc, Improved strength, Emotional peace
I am on my feet and active as a restaurant owner 14 hours most days. My lower back pain caused by a herniated disk has been greatly reduced and my overall strength has increased. I began rolling an average of 3 times a since week in March with Jennifer Smith via the online zoom class. I absolutely love the transformation that is taking place. I am on my feet and active as a restaurant owner 14 hours most days. While I am thin, I am excited about the definition and tone that my entire body has achieved. An unexpected bonus is the overall feeling of relaxation and peace I feel after every session. One of the best investments I have made in my journey to overall physical health. Jennifer has a wonderful way of guiding us thru the class while educating us along the way.

Yoga & Fitness fan, Sleep issues, Headaches
"I love all kinds of fitness: yoga, weights, biking, running, and hiking with my family. But, in late 2020 I found myself overwhelmed and lacking motivation. I was not sleeping well, holding tension in my body, and being sidelined with frequent headaches. I am so glad I found you! While I love coming to Live Zoom Classes when I can, my family's schedule (3 young daughters) makes it challenging. Over the past month, I have really enjoyed using the On-Demand 24/7 recorded videos! I really like the 60 minute rollouts, with the option to pause as needed to pay special attending to certain areas. I've kept my commitment to do a full body rollout 3 times a week for the last month and I feel so much better!"

Knee & Back Pain
I honestly am not sure when the connection to Fascia Fitness began, at least 18 months ago (because we were interrupted by Covid!) I was a patient of Dr. Shannon Hurley for significant back issues and intermittent knee issues. When I got to a certain point where I could bear the pain, she suggested I meet Jennifer, who then introduced me to Fascia Fitness in person. At first, I was not very consistent with classes. At first, I didn't recognize that when I had pain, it was time to attend a class. I thought if I had pain, I should just skip. I purchased the roller and the Gua Sha and came to class once a week... but was not diligent about practicing at home. Covid happened and I was very reluctant about Zoom classes so stepped away. And then, a very emotional period happened, that lasted months. Traveling for family concerns, full time care for a parent, and then the loss of that parent. I was away from home for such a long period of time and thought very little about my own health. I just decided I would take care of things in the now; my health would be a focus later. And happily, I have made that commitment. 2022! I am now looking after me! And I am learning that getting up twice a week to do Zoom classes, yes Zoom - in my home - is good! It is a beautiful way to start the day. Because I have become more consistent the pain is less. I have more mobility. I feel stronger and I most certainly feel much better about myself. I am working out in fitness classes and walking every day. I am challenging myself to take care of myself - and it is working. I think these classes were the beginning! And I find myself using some of the videos late in the evening to calm and help me end the day. I appreciate the energy Jennifer has and shares and I appreciate the interest she has taken in my well-being.

Inflammation, General Stiffness, Sports Injuries
The fascianation method truly is the missing link for wellness! Since I started rolling with Jennifer about a month ago, I have noticed reduced inflammation, greater range of motion and flexibility, less joint pain and muscle soreness and most important: faster recovery after walking 18 holes of golf or playing 2 hours of tennis or pickleball. Also, to my pleasant surprise, my regular “tune up” at the chiropractor was the easiest in years. Rolling takes some practice, and Jennifer is the perfect teacher. She will lovingly guide you to get the most out of your sessions and will also educate you about fascia along the way.
