Common questions

How do you use a massage ball on your back?

Place it between your back and a wall, lean into it, and move slowly until you find a tight spot. Hold there for twenty to thirty seconds. Using a wall rather than the floor lets you control exactly how much pressure goes through the ball.

What is the difference between a single ball and a peanut ball?

A peanut ball has two lobes with a channel between them, so it straddles the spine and works the muscle either side without pressing on the vertebrae. A single ball is better for the glutes, feet and shoulder blades.

How long should you hold pressure on a trigger point?

Twenty to thirty seconds, breathing normally. Release if the area goes numb or tingly rather than simply aching.
