Deep Massage for Shoulder Pain

If you’ve ever had shoulder pain, then you know how miserable it can be.  It’s dificult to get comfortable and often impossible to sleep.  Wouldn’t it be wonderful to get a deep tissue massage?  You bet it would - but who’s going to do it?

The Tennis Ball Solution

The problems with massages:

• they can be expensive
• sometimes difficult to find someone qualified - naturally, this depends on your location (big city vs. rural)
• amateur massages always leave you wanting more - not quite providing total relief

Please Yourself

Here’s a thought - make yourself happy.  Okay, don’t get any off-color ideas - I’m talking massage.  Deep tissue massage / trigger point therapy.  Get a tennis ball and follow along with the video.  Let me know what you think - did it help you?

My thoughts on this shoulder pain relief technique

I love a massage - who doesn’t?  But my masseuse (my wife) usually gets tired long before the knots are worked out.  With this tennis ball technique, I can put pressure directly on the problem area and then control the amount of force applied.  Give it a shot.
