How to Get Rid of Back Pain By Using a Tennis Ball

Do you suffer from back pain, lower back pain or neck and you don’t have time or money for a massage? There is an excellent way out of this situation if you do theseexercises without getting out of your home. All you are going to need is an ordinary tennis ball.

A tennis ball is pretty solid, and it’s covered with a soft cloth. That is exactly what you need for self-massage.

With the exercises with a ball, you can relieve back pain, caused as a result of any entrapment, muscle pain and neck pain.

Exercise for your back:

Stand against the wall and put the ball in the area below the shoulder blades, not on the spine but on the muscle part. Squeeze it. The knees should be slightly bent. Start rolling the ball on your back, looking for tense points. On this way you massage the muscles along the spine.

When you find such point, stop and press the ball against the wall and hold it 10 seconds. In this way, you are massaging the muscles on the left and the right side of the back. When you perform this exercise you get a proper posture.

On a similar way you can massage the lower back.

Lie on the floor, put the ball under the cross, but not on the spine, but the muscle part. Rely on your elbows, bent your legs at knees. Putting up the but, start rolling the ball. If you feel pain, it means that you have pressed the trigger point – here the muscles are very tense and are very hard to loosen them up.

Keep it that way for about 10 seconds, relaxing your buttocks on the floor and your legs stretched forward. Then, roll the ball and search for another point of pain. Do this massage on both sides of the lower back. Thus, beside the massage, we activate a lot of other muscles such as shoulders, but, legs…

If you’re experiencing recurring pain in certain parts of your back, a massage like this can be a great emergency assistance for its removal.

But if you want to always be in great shape without feeling any tension and pain in the muscles, you need to do this massage every day.
