It’s tough to massage your own back! Here’s a trick that you can use in the car, in the office, or even on an airplane. Get yourself a tennis ball (or racquet ball or perhaps a dog toy!). Lean against a wall or chair, and put the ball between your tight muscle and the wall/chair so that you essentially “capture†the ball. Now roll around on the ball and let it dig into your tight muscle. Do this for about 30 seconds, and repeat as often as you like. This is also a wonderful treatment for tight IT bands.
