The "Miracle Tennis Ball Cure" For Back Pain, Tension and Stress - 8 Steps to Reducing Bac
- Get a tennis ball.
Many of you will have one around the house.
- Lie down on the couch or bed with the tennis ball under your back, just on the outside of your shoulder blade.
Don't lie on the floor; it will put too much pressure on your back. - Move around on the ball until you place it under a spot on your back that hurts.
That's where your "stress knots" are. - Hold the ball on that spot putting as much weight as you can on the ball for 1 minute.
You may not be able to press hard at first.
It might be too uncomfortable.
That's okay.
Each time you do it, you will be able to press harder. - As you put your weight on the ball, breathe "into" the knot on your back.
Imagine yourself directing your warm breath to the tension and relax the area as much as you can. - After about a minute, move your body over the ball to another stress knot.
You will know it when you find it-it will be the uncomfortable spot! - You want to keep the pressure on for at least a minute on each spot as it takes that long for the point to release and the muscle to "forget" to tighten up again.
- Do this each day under each shoulder blade.
You will notice improvement immediately and feeling that good will motivate you to continue the "Miracle Tennis Ball Cure.
