The Little Blue Back Ball – Targeted Deep Tissue Release Tool
The little blue treatment ball is the embodiment of simple-is-genius; almost too low-tech for words. Unlike many 'massage balls' it has the perfect pressure, designed to feel as close as possible to the careful pressure from human hands.
It allows you to apply your own gentle, focused force into stiff vertebrae and sensitive hard patches in your spine. The pressure of the ball helps you locate and work into deeper layers of spinal stiffness and muscular tension that are often difficult to reach through general movement or stretching alone.
As pressure is applied, you may notice a distinctive sensation of “comfortable discomfort”—a sign you’ve found a problem spot in the spinal machinery.
This type of targeted pressure can help:
- Improve local mobility of restricted spinal structures
- Stimulate the circulation of blood through the spinal soft tissues
- Soften spinal adhesions so they can be reabsorbed by the blood stream
- Restore mobility and compliance of tethered spinal nerve roots
- Encourage the release of protective spasm of the spinal muscles
- Facilitate better movement through the spinal segments
- Increase awareness of specific problem levels within the back
Many users also describe a sense of relief and lightness following use. This is the result of the body’s natural opiates (endorphins) flooding down from the brain in response to sustained pressure. The feeling when using the back ball is often described as 'sweet pain'.
Used correctly, the ball becomes a precise self-treatment tool—allowing you to work intuitively into problem areas and gradually restore painfree movement.
A note on sensation
The feeling during use is important. Mild discomfort in tight areas is expected, but it should always remain within a tolerable range. The goal is release, not strain, and certainly not bruising.
The Block and The Ball is a Simple and Effective Home Treatment Kit
The blue ball is compact, portable, and designed to integrate easily into your daily routine. The ball is the ideal partner to the BackBlock - think of the ball as mobilising and the block decompressing. Using the ball prior to the BackBlock 'unhooks' the spinal segments so they pull apart better with the decompression.
Don't be Tempted To Overdo Using the Back Ball
It can be such a relief to find the pain that you can be tempted to do too much. In reality, you should never stay on the ball for longer than 1-2 minutes. Any longer, and you run the risk of stirring up an inflamed area. Be guided by your instincts and quit while you are ahead. Always remember - once you have found the nub of things - that 'less is more' and come back to it tomorrow night.
