    Massage balls, anyone?

    I bought a pair of hedgehog-ey, floppy massage balls after we used some (those had no spikes but were just as floppy) in Yoga class.

    I've figured out how to massage lower and mid back, butt, lateral thighs, calves.

    Would love to use them for hamystrings and shin musles but that's more difficult.

    Anyone use those?

    Not sure what type of balls you are using, but I do at-home Yamuna Body Rolling with success:

    Using something like this:


    All I can say is wow, I must have cables in places, such as my butt, the size of the ones of the golden gate bridge.

    I have very high hopes for this. It hurts, but in such a good way.

    I once used something that was like a stick, but with knobby rollers. It felt wonderful.


    Edit...
