I was reminded of one of my FAVORITE #selfstretching and #selfmassaging techniques, which I regularly suggest to patients. With #healthconditions, muscle #atrophy and cramps from #vitamin deficiency is common. Using tennis balls to ease some of these symptoms, is pretty easy and inexpensive. You don't need to start with 4 - I've typically started people much slower. It's a great technique to become a regular habit! Can you figure out why it's suggested to use tennis balls? #Repost @baseline_enhancement (via @repostapp) ・・・ 4 tennis balls + athletic tape = excellent self-myofascial release tool. You cannot perform optimally if the fascia around your muscles are tight. Self-myofascial release tools break up scar tissue and trigger points. They also increase flexibility and range of motion. Therefore, it is important to include soft tissue techniques before your games and training sessions to help boost your performance. #baseline_enhancement #physicaltherapy #injuryprevention #prehab #basketballwarmup #ballislife #foamroller #basketballdrills #basketballtraining #healthcare #sportsmedicine #fitspo #personaltraining #fitlife #kinesiology #sportsscience #massage #basketballworkout #summerisserious #prehab
