FREEBODY

The Body, Pain, and a

Path to Freedom

“Cat Matlock is such a gift to this world.

This book, FreeBody, is a distillation of Cat’s many decades of knowing the physical body and her deep understanding of how the body works.  FreeBody belongs in every home, on every bookshelf, where it will no doubt get tattered with use, worn with love.”
—Sierra Hollister, Author, Moon Path Yoga

Who is FreeBody for?

You're getting older and that recurring injury comes around more often

You just want to feel great!

  •  

 

This book is meant to serve everyone. My mission is to help people understand how trigger points in muscles, sticky fascia, and stress/trauma affect the body and cause pain and dysfunction. The book is packed with science, stories from my clients, and personal experiences so you can understand how these systems cause pain and what that looks and feels like.
Once that foundation is laid, I teach you the simple things you must do to care for those three systems so you can feel amazing in your body again.
With the FreeBody System you can get out of pain you're already in, avoid getting into pain if you're currently pain-free, and recover MUCH FASTER when injuries occur.

 

The 5 Points to Freedom

The FreeBody system is based on 5 key things you must do to feel well.

1- Soothe the brain and nervous system.

2- Move enough throughout your day.

3- Roll out your fascia and trigger points.

4- Sit and stand well in good posture.

5- Stretch to pull on your fascia bodysuit.

 

Below are links to pages chock full of videos to support you

to learn how to practice the 5 Points to Freedom

Soothe

Practices designed to release pent up stress. Stress directly feeds pain. Reducing stress and soothing your brain directly lowers the experience of pain. This page includes a link to a FREE meditation and self regulation course!

Move

Experts suggest getting up and moving at least every 30-45 minutes. What are the best movements to maintain strength and get things hydrated? Learn those here.

Roll

Therapeutic rolling helps to flush out inflammation, hydrates your tissues (a MUST for healing) and teaches you where you hold, and can release, tension in your body.

Sit & Stand Well: Posture

Learn how to get yourself into Active Posture to transform your fascial bodysuit and balance the muscles in your body. If you slouch all day, you cannot feel well. Here's how to do it right.

Stretch

You can do it! Go here to find videos of simple stretches and yoga routines.

A FreeBody Day

Videos are here to support you implementing the FreeBody System throughout your day. Just a couple of minutes here and there will make all the difference in how you feel.

Brooke Shannon Sullivan

Founder, The Wild Temple School

“Twenty years ago Cat was my anatomy instructor, blowing all of our minds with her progressive wisdom of the body. She shifted our views of how to live and practice yoga to be pain free. This book is both a distillation and evolution of that wisdom,
shared in her beautiful style and spice that just may blow your mind. Enjoy, embody her teachings, and then buy copies for your loved ones.”

Zak Killberg

“The FreeBody healing methods Cat Matlock outlines in this book relieved my entrenched lower back pain and debilitating sciatica pain in just a couple months. If you are seeking the same relief, I strongly recommend this book!”
