Massage Your Back with a Ball
When you have no one to massage your back, you can give your back a mini massage by using a ball, a wall, and patience. This works best for the muscles in your back, especially all of those tight places you can't reach. All you need is a ball--if you don't have a massage ball (shown here) a racket ball, a tennis or bouncy-ball will work.
Steps
- Put your back against a wall with your feet about {{safesubst:#invoke:convert|convert}} or so away from the wall.
- Place ball between your back and the wall.
- Carefully apply your body weight against the wall, until you get the desired pressure.
- Rock your body back and forth and up and down to move the ball around your back.
Warnings
- Avoid putting too much pressure on your spine, especially if you are using a solid or very firm ball.
