🔻 30/01/2018 🔹 A tennis ball 🎾 is a cheap, handy, #portablemassagetool !!! - It’s ideal for the self-treatment of “knots” in your muscles, #sorespots of uncertain nature widely known as #triggerpoints . - The idea of #tennisballmassage, or any massage with any kind of ball, is to apply specific pressure to an stiff or aching spot in a muscle by trapping it between your body and something else: usually the floor, sometimes a wall, or another body part (or a few other creative options like the back of the couch, the bottom of the bathtub, and so on). The point is to use the ball to reach spots that you simply can’t get to with your hands, and every other kind of tool massage is a variation on this theme. - It’s exactly like foam rolling, but less trendy2 and more precise. Both have their uses, but if I could only have one, I’d definitely choose the tennis ball for its accuracy and versatility. #tennisballmassagetherapy .
