How Balls Should Feel During or After Use:

During use, the Double Massage Balls elicit a strong pressure sensation, aching, discomfort or a “good
pain”, and occasionally a crack or pop, which are all normal sensations.

After use, you generally feel pain relief, less stiff, and able to sit with much better posture. It is possible to develop a ‘bruised’ sensation similar to after a strong massage. This is a normal temporary response and shouldn’t last longer than 1-2 days. Cease use if this pain persists, and see your local doctor or health
professional.

Exercise Instructions

  • Place the ball on the allocated area to be massaged.
  • Seek out any irritable spots of muscle my moving your body around on the ball.

THORACIC SPIN

  1. Lie stationary on the balls for 30 seconds, then push through your heels and roll the balls down your spine 2cm.
  2. To further increase the pressure from balls, fold arms across your chest. This exposes the joints in the mid thoracic region to more therapeutic pressure. Gently roll to one side if you feel pain more on one side.
  3. To maximally increase pressure, raise your arms overhead. This position is especially beneficial for swimmers, cyclists, runners and triathletes.

FOOT ARCH PAIN/PLANTAR FASCIITIS

The Double Massage balls can be used to massage the arches of the feet, and are very beneficial for plantar fasciitis. Whilst sitting, place both feet evenly on Balls and roll forwards and backwards
for 5 minutes twice a day applying as much pressure as you can tolerate.

GLUTEAL/PIRIFORMIS

Balls are a great tool to lie on or sit on to release the tight trigger points in the gluteal region. Apply direct pressure to the tight gluteal muscles for 30 seconds or until the trigger point or tight muscle relaxes. Repeat in other tight adjacent areas.

NECK AND HEADACHES

Lie flat on your back, and rest your head on a pillow. Tuck your chin in slightly.

Place balls under each side of your neck, and roll them up and down the neck region. Hold in specific area of tenderness and move head side to side to address get a more specific massage.

Make the massage stronger by removing the pillow. This is a good exercise for releasing muscle tension and fatigue in the neck.

QUADRATUS LUMBORUM

Stand up straight, cross your legs, and place two small spikey balls between your side and a wall. Place your arm over your head to bend away from the wall (thus placing more pressure against the balls). You will feel a stretch on the side of your lower back.
