How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Sit or stand with support and place a small massage ball beneath the padded underside of one heel.
  2. 02Apply only light, gradual pressure because the heel pad and surrounding tissues can be sensitive.
  3. 03Roll the heel slowly over the ball in short forward, backward, and side-to-side passes.
  4. 04Pause gently near tender areas without pressing directly into sharp pain, numbness, or tingling.
  5. 05Remove your weight from the tool slowly and repeat on the other heel if prescribed.
