Body tempering is designed to reduce tone leading to sprains/strains, to open up range of motion and improve flexibility/mobility to achieve ideal positioning for training, and to reduce feelings of fatigue to lengthen work out time and reduce soreness to enhance future training sessions. Body tempering is meant to help prevent injury or in a medical capacity to help reduce soreness, reduce tightness, and improve range of motion. However, it is not meant to act as an isolated treatment or as a stand alone technique. Body tempering without optimal movement or training is going to be inefficient. It is not a crutch for dealing with more serious medical issues in the absence of professional medical care.
