Self Care Tips - Balls

I'm going to use this blog as a forum to share some tips for self care for those of you that might not have the means to get massaged all the time.  Here are a couple favorites that are super easy to do and you can use pretty common household stuff:


  • Tennis ball back massage - Take two tennis balls and put them in a sock (a dress sock works best), tie the sock in a knot at the end, then put it against a wall and roll up against it.  Do not roll the balls directly on your spine, just on either side of the spine.  Also works great for applying pressure to those stubborn knots in your back.  (I had made one of these but my dog stole the tennis balls)  
  • Golf balls for your feet - Just roll the golf balls on the soles of your feet. You can also stand up and apply pressure by standing on one golf ball against the arch of your foot.  
Now go get the ball rolling (oh man that was an awful pun.)
