What would be a good place to start with tempering? The one video I saw, they were tempering mainly sort of the back, the shoulders, and the back of the legs. Is that a good place to start, or are there less, I guess, muscles that you are less likely to hurt as you start figuring out how to use tempering? So those particular areas of the body that you've spoken about are rather large muscle groups. So the weight isn't directly.

On a bony process or bony structure. And they put it down on that area of the body, and often they'll roll it manually through that to get through that full range of movement on that muscle or full length of that muscle. And sometimes they even oscillate, so they'll kind of push up and down on either side of that roller to get a little bit more release. But it's really important in this type of therapy, because of the weight of that roller, it provides a bit of compression. So compression is a good thing. You've seen a lot of the, I'm sure.

In the media, and around a lot of people are offering those compression garments and compression boots that help to recover and those sort of things. So, compression can be a very good thing. We use it for injuries as well, you know, compress to stop bleeding and compression to stop swelling. But we've also got to remember that compression can be a bad thing in too much. So, you don't want to create an injury and leave it on for an excessive amount of time. So, that's why they wanted to stick it on a bigger muscle group rather than a small one because, obviously, the tolerance for pressure might be different on a smaller, small muscle group. And what I just said, as I said in the beginning,
