Best. Balls. Ever!
โ
These are my favorite set of balls ๐ ...I know, I know.. I sound like such a weirdo saying it but seriously, I always have them with me! I travel with it, I keep a pair under my sofa, and under my desk.โ
โ
Itโs so versatile! You can use it for your back, your neck, jaw, face (my kind of Face Gym), shoulders, forearms, calves, feet, toes, hamstrings, quads, and on and on!โ
โ
Why are these balls so awesome?!โ
โ
The balls have a unique texture. When itโs directly on your skin, it manipulates your fascia and releases muscle tension, positively affecting your circulation and lymphatic system.โ
โ
(If I lost you at fascia, in a simple term, itโs a connective tissue network that is the biological fabric holding us together. Itโs like a spider web ๐ธ๐ค and fascia is another fascinating topic for later)โ
โ
Iโm all about teach you in bite sizes so Iโll start you with this one โstretchโ first to...โ
โ
๐๐๐๐๐ผ๐๐ ๐ฝ๐ผ๐พ๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐:โ
โ
โ Lie on your back, knees bent, feet on the groundโ
โ Make sure your your knees and ankles are aligned with your hipsโ
โ Place the two balls on each side of the spine, horizontallyโ
โ Slowly, rock side to sideโ
โ It should feel like a deep tissue massageโ
โ
(Disclaimer: there is no exercise or "stretch" that is one-size fits all so be careful! Not sure? Schedule a consultation with me)โ
โ
Feels intense? ๐ฏThen just relax in the position.โ

โ๏ธAvoid arching your backโ
โ๏ธDO NOT place the balls on your spineโ
