Tennis
Ball Stretch!
Working hard for you every day, your feet are the foundation for good posture and keeping your entire body in balance. The foot is an extremely complex structure made up of 26 bones, 33 joints, 19 muscles and 107 ligaments.
Unfortunately, many people neglect their feet. As a result, your feet can become tight from walking, running, exercising and even playing golf. In addition to staying hydrated, one of the best things you can do to support the health of your feet and your body is give your footsies a regular rub down using a tennis ball. This will greatly help your posture, reduce tension, support relaxation, improve circulation, and can even help prevent injuries.
The best part is that a tennis ball is inexpensive, easy to find, convenient to carry walking 18 holes. It’s also a great way to start your morning, take a break between school and golf practice, or relax before bed.
How To Stretch Your Feet: Do Some “Sole Searching”
1:-Take off your shoes
2:-Stand on 1 foot and
place the tennis ball under your other foot
3:-Slowly put your
weight down on the ball and gently roll the ball front to back and side to side
4:-When you find a
tender spot apply steady pressure for 30 seconds and breath
5:-Navigate your foot
trying to search and destroy those nasty knots until the pain dissipates
6:-When ready, switch
to the other foot and repeat
You can also use your tennis ball to explore your body for other tight and painful areas.
Try using it on your
neck, chest, thighs, calves, or anywhere that tension builds up in your body.
Best of all, throw your tennis ball into your backpack or golf bag and you’ll
have your own masseuse on-the-go.
You can also use a lacrosse ball or golf ball to do this, but those will be
much more painful.
