How to use a massage ball

Discover the benefits of using massage balls for tight muscles. Massage balls can be a useful tool to target those sore spots and increase blood flow to muscles. This ‘How to’ video explains the different types of balls and how to use one to massage your glutes, shoulders and feet.

There isn’t one massage ball for everything and everyone, so choose what works best for you.
Here’s a few things to consider:

• Size—generally smaller massage balls provide deeper, targeted massage; larger balls can be gentler and easier to use on larger muscles.
• Firmness—harder creates a firmer, deeper pressure; softer may be more suitable for sensitive spots.
• Surface—spiky gives a more intense massage but may be more uncomfortable; smooth creates less intense, even pressure and can be gentler on the skin.
