Massage balls are a great help release tension in our achy muscles after long hours spent in the office or after a workout.
One of the differences being that it can get to those hard to reach areas such as the upper back, buttocks and feet
Start with only a few knots at a time, the most painful area being first. The idea is to trap the knot in the muscle with the ball and apply gently to medium pressure until the painful sensation has faded.
Once you have the correct spot , hold it there and try to relax until only about 80% of the ache remains.
Roll the ball around to look for more tender spots or just enjoy gently going back and forth over the tight muscle. If you feel the muscle needs it, you can repeat it twice a day. After releasing the knot, follow it up with gentle stretches to the same muscle. It’s okay to lightly exercise the muscle afterward but avoid fatiguing it for 24 hours.
