Using a “Ball Tool” to Help Alleviate Back & Glute Tension

      There are so many great ways to help alleviate our day to day muscle tension. We can stretch and do aerobic exercise to get the blood flowing, but sometimes you just need to massage those tight muscles for them to release. There are many tools and techniques that we can use at home when we can’t go see a Massage Therapist or for those times in between massage sessions. One great tool that is incredibly easy to use, inexpensive to buy and simple to make is a ” ball tool”. In the above video I show you how to make it. I find myself using it all of the time and always take one with me whenever I travel as it doesn’t take up much room in my luggage but is invaluable. There are so many ways that you can use this simple tool, but for today I am focusing on showing you how to use it to help loosen your Paraspinal muscles ( the muscles that run along either side of your spine) as well as your Gluteus muscles. In other videos I will show you how to use this versatile tool to address other areas. Once you get the idea of how to use it, you can be creative and find great new ways to use it yourself.
