🤗 Got Tight Hips?

Theme:
Got Tight Hips?

This Week's Theme

Everyone from nurses to deskworkers to young mothers think that if your hips are tight, you should stretch them.

Unfortunately, this couldn't be further from the truth. In fact, the only thing worse than stretching would be not moving at all. Or sitting in a chair all day long. 😉

If you're hips feel tight, it's not because the muscles are too short or they just like to make you suffer (even though it may feel that way).

Come learn what will actually helps your body- bring a friend and stay afterward for some casual conversations with some other longevity minded people!

About Rouleau

Rouleau is a new movement education studio in Edmonton, focused on helping people build durable, capable bodies that improve over time. Alberta has an $8b/year chronic pain problem, and we’re here building the new workforce that can fix it.

Over the years, our teachers have helped clients prevent unnecessary orthopedic surgeries, eliminate chronic pain, and improve whatever you love doing - from gardening to hiking to golf to snowboarding (the full list is endless).

Our work is about ensuring that Albertans can build bodies that last and maintain their “work hard, play hard” reputation amidst a changing techno-world landscape.

Come Join Us

This is a small, in-person event limited to 20 attendees to keep the focused and personal. It’s an opportunity to change your long term trajectory and meet some new friends.

We look forward to seeing you there.

Hear what Rouleau practitioners are saying...

“Physically, I feel amazing. I used to go on a beach walk for about an hour, and just at the end of it, my hips were just screaming at me. It was like a couple of years of that. I'm starting to forget I ever had an issue there. I even did a three-hour hike a month ago or something -and I didn't even think about it. I had no pain. I just didn’t even realize it."

Cecily, Australia

“My student was supposed to get her hip replaced. But after a year, her doctor told her, ‘Your hips look great. You don’t need a replacement right now. We don’t need to do surgery.’ And she said, ‘It’s the Rouleau classes.’ She comes three times a week. She’s so dedicated."

Wendy, Germany

“I was in an accident and suffered a pretty significant brain concussion. I was on a walker for 3 months. Couldn’t drive for 9. I made more progress in 6 months with Rouleau than I made in a year of neuro rehab. I’m doing things that I really was terrified to do. I’m probably close to where I was before my injury. But that’s not good enough anymore. I want to keep pushing myself and challenging myself.”

Melanie, USA

“I talk about being the poster child for this work because two years ago, I could hardly walk up the stairs. I had so much inflammation, so much discomfort. My doctor suggested I would need surgery. But I’ve been doing this work every single day since then. My knees are doing great. I go days - weeks, even - without even thinking that I ever had any pain in them. It’s remarkable.”

Barbara, Canada

“At 42, I’ve never felt more capable. I’m doing things I used to be terrified of. My kids think their mommy is strong and they are super impressed by that - I enjoy showing them little things they can use in their everyday life. Even emptying the dishwasher - I’m intentionally trying to use those parts of my body. I know now it helps prevent injury, but it also makes you stronger.”

Danielle, USA

“Going to get groceries, I used to have to hold on to the cart. I used to just focus on the pain-and the lack of mobility. But now when I come here, I feel joy. This lifts me up every week. It’s making me feel better about me.”

Kim, CANADA

Who wrote this page anyways?

Hi there - I’m Denise, founder of Rouleau.

I’ve spent my life studying movement in every form, from fitness and massage therapy to somatics and beyond.
‍
Along the way, I discovered something missing: a way of moving that doesn’t just train your body, but teaches it how to heal.

That’s why I created Rouleau - to give you a path back to strength, stability, and the quiet confidence of feeling at home in your body again.

At its core, Rouleau is built on one truth: your body is designed to heal and adapt. My work, and the work of every Rouleau teacher, is simply to help you remember how.
