Yeah, my only interest in suspension is to see if it would unkink my back. But since I know people who do it and teach it professionally, I should go talk to them.
I will guinea pig for them. It's not my kink but I am excellent at feedback on whether a therapy is working or aligned or not.
Lovely dress, Sail!
Okay, the foam rollers... they're made of foam and shaped like logs, right? And you roll them over hurty muscles? And this hurts, but then it helps?
Oh the evil of foam rollers...
And this hurts, but then it helps?
Basically, yes. It's intense pain but really works.
hurts like a sonofabitch in bastard sauce.
I love this phrase. I may repeat it, giggling, at odd intervals.
ETA: In fact, I want to build a shrine to it so that all the internet may come and worship it.

Heh. I'll let you know how the person in question feels about the notion of practicing his suspension work on non-kink oriented folks.
And you roll them over hurty muscles?
Well, you put the foam roller on the floor and then put your painful body part on it, and roll. So the pain is the combination of body weight + solid foam roll.
t edit
It's like the tennis ball trick, but since the foam roller is WAY more dense, it hurts WAY more.
Heh. I am kink oriented and happy to guinea pig for back issues also...though I suppose if I really wanted that I could find it. I do have friends who deliberately put suspension points in their ceiling when they remodeled
I like a good deep-tissue every now and then; I would be curious about the rollers.
Suspension, NSM. I'm fine in a rappelling harness, but not being able to get out GETOUGETOUT would freak my shit out.
And I don't know if neck-tying is part of suspension, but I can't even wear chokers or turtlenecks, it freaks me out so much. I think I was strangled to death in a former life.

Only by really unsafe assholes. (IOW, it's not a good idea to ever put rope around someone's neck even if they aren't suspended, but DEFINITELY not if they're suspended.)
