How to perform it

Step-by-step instructions

  1. 01Place a massage ball between the wall and the upper back just inside the shoulder blade, avoiding direct pressure on the spine.

  3. 03Lean into the ball with light to moderate pressure and make short, slow movements.
  4. 04Pause on a tender spot while breathing normally, but stop if you feel sharp pain, numbness, or tingling.
  5. 05Reposition the ball to cover nearby tissue and repeat on the opposite side.
