Sometimes you may feel like you really need a someone to put their elbow into a certain spot! Or you may feel like it just needs to be “cracked”. BUT you cant get in to see your chiropractor for weeks…

One of the ways we encourage our clients to stay pain free in between sessions is by using a spikey ball or a trigger point ball.

Spikey Balls work on the myofascial system (superficial layer of connective tissue) to reduce muscle tension, improve blood flow, increase body awareness and aid in injury prevention and rehabilitation. Making them perfect for knots and tight areas. They are a great way to perform self care and release those knots

HOW TO: You can simply sit or lay on your Spikey Ball and you use your body weight to apply pressure to a tight muscle.

By using pressure and specific movements you can encourage the Spikey Ball to really target those deep trouble-spots and also encourage the brain - body awareness.
DO NOT USE your Spikey Ball if you have a recent injury or trauma which has broken the skin, caused inflammation of a joint, or if you are badly bruised – if in doubt ask your practitioner.
