What Makes Bed of Balls Massage Unique?

What sets Bed of Balls Massage apart from other self-massage products? Leaning and pressing against Bed of Balls Massage (which is the patented Bed of Balls Massage method) offers a unique combination of massage, acupressure and circulation enhancement to provide relief almost anywhere on the body. In essence, by simply using your own body weight, you are giving yourself your very own massage! This self-massage method is often referred to as Tennis Ball Therapy.

Bed of Balls Massage can ease pain and increase flexibility if you suffer from any of the following:
•Tight muscles
•Trigger points (intense knots of pain that refer pain to other parts of the body)
•Muscle aches from stress
•Muscle pain from overuse (work or exercise)
•Myofascial pain

You can use Bed of Balls Massage just about anywhere you are able to position the balls between your body and a firm surface:
•Lying on the floor
•Leaning against a wall
•Driving in a car or truck
•Sitting in a chair, at a theater or on an airplane

What are Myofascial Self-Care Therapy and
Myofascial Tennis Ball Therapy?

It is helpful to understand the meaning of the word myofascial because therapists are using this term more frequently today. Myo means muscle. Fascia means connective tissue. Fascia tissue extends without interruption from head to toe. It surrounds and invades every other tissue and organ of the body (nerves, cells, muscle and bone). Since muscle provides the greatest bulk of our body’s soft tissue, muscle and fascia unite to form the myofascia system.

Myofascial Self-Care Therapy and Myofascial Tennis Ball Therapy are names of therapies that describe the Bed of Balls Massage self-care method of reducing pain, soothing injured muscles, stimulating circulation and improving flexibility. Some traditional therapies, with names such as Myofascial Therapy, Myofascial Release, Myofascial Release Techniques, Myofascial Trigger Point Therapy, as well as acupressure and massage, rely on hands-on therapies to produce a healing effect to areas of discomfort. The combined goal of these professional therapies, along with the Bed of Balls Massage self-care method, is to eliminate pain and increase flexibility. Again, Bed of Balls Massage is the best self-care tool to help achieve this goal!

Note: The term myofascial and all forms of the word muscular are interchangeable for the purposes of the Bed of Balls Massage method of self-care therapy.

Bed of Balls Massage, Stress and Self-Care

We all have stress. Stress at home and in the workplace appears to be the leading risk factor for myofascial back pain and injuries. It is the number two reason for doctor visits after respiratory infections. Additionally, researchers believe 80 percent of all diseases are linked to or aggravated by chronic stress. The negative effects of stress can be prevented from becoming chronic through exercise, relaxation techniques and availing ourselves of the many professional hands-on therapies in our communities. However, we must recognize that we can’t always rely on professionals to keep myofascial pain at bay. We must become active partners in the treatment of myofascial pain and discomfort brought on by the stress in one’s personal life, activities at home, recreation, exercise and family life. The Bed of Balls Massage method allows us to start feeling in control of our lives through an active self-care approach.

Regular use of Bed of Balls Massage at home, at work, in your favorite chair or anywhere you are able to position the balls between your body and a firm surface, will make you a proactive participant in the improvement of your fitness, health and quality of life.

Bed of Balls Massage for Underused and Overused Muscles

Bed of Balls Massage is an important tool for people whose muscles are underused. Daily use for 5 minutes, three to five minutes a day (you can experiment to determine how Bed of Balls works best for you), will help improve circulation by creating a better flow of oxygen and nutrients to surrounding cells and tissues.

Bed of Balls Massage is invaluable for participants in sports-related activities; since it simulates a massage, it can be used both before and after exercise. The goal of a professional massage, as well as the Bed of Balls Massage self-massage method, for 5 to 10 minutes prior to exercise, is to increase circulation and flexibility. This will prepare the body for exercise and reduce the chance of injury. For many people, it has been known to calm performance anxiety!

Immediately after exercise, the goal of a professional massage, as well as the Bed of Balls Massage method, is to release tightness and revitalize the muscles. A professional massage, or the Bed of Balls Massage self-massage method, for 30 minutes or more, will help prevent cramping and inflammation; it will also decrease soreness and recovery time for overused muscles.

Bed of Balls Massage and Driving

All drivers who spend long periods of time in their car or truck may notice that the vibration while driving and the gripping of the steering wheel hour after hour can cause myofascial pain and trigger points (intense knots of pain that refer pain to other parts of the body) in the neck, shoulders and the upper and lower back; sitting for extended periods of time while bumping along rough roads create these and other physical issues that can become chronic. For all of those truck drivers and moms and anyone who drives, keep Bed of Balls Massage behind your back.

For optimum relief of discomfort while driving, the consensus of our trucker customers and those who drive everyday is to combine two sets of Bed of Balls Massage in the following manner:

Make one set of Bed of Balls Massage into a circle of 12 balls by doing the following:

Attach the hook on the string of 4 balls to the ring on the string of 8 balls, making a straight line.
Attach the remaining hook and ring to each other making a circle of 12 balls.

Repeat with a 2nd set of Bed of Balls Massage.
Attach the circles of 12 balls to each other making a figure 8 out of 24 balls.
Hang over the headrest of your car, truck or SUV. The 24 balls will hit many of the muscles and trigger points from your neck to your lower back. By applying the pressure of your own body weight, you will simulate the pressing, squeezing and kneading of a professional massage.

Bed of Balls Massage Saves You Time and Money

Who has the time or money for a professional massage whenever they feel achy or stressed? You can now simulate the pressing, squeezing and kneading of a professional massage by using Bed of Balls Massage. The easily configurable product fits all shapes and sizes, quickly adjusts to comfort any muscle group in pain and improves circulation by creating a better blood flow of oxygen and nutrients to surrounding cells and tissues. And since Bed of Balls Massage is designed for the person on the go, you don’t need to take time out of your busy day to acquire the relief you need. Bed of Balls Massage is lightweight and easily transportable. Throw it in your gym bag or even your briefcase or handbag.
