Fantastic Self-Massage Tips That Will Make You Feel Amazing

While everyone deals with aches and pains, not everyone has the money or time to pay for a professional massage. The following are some massages that you can do yourself, and you will feel so much better.


1. If your feet hurt:


You can do this move under your desk without having to interrupt what you're doing. A regular tennis ball can be used, but we recommend using a spiked ball. It will feel lighter on your feet.


Here's how you do it:

A. Sit down and place your foot on the ball. Use firm pressure to roll the ball back and forth from the heel and toe.

B. Roll in small circles if you feel any pain or tenderness.


Use while standing to apply more pressure.


2. If tension headaches are a problem:


A. Place your hands on your stomach and bend your knees.

B. Lay on your back with your legs bent.

C. You can alternate between moving your head from one side to the other and then tucking and lifting your chin.


3. If PMS makes your lower back hurt:


A. Elevate and lower your hips. Then, use the tennis balls for kneading this area.


4. If your jaw feels tight or painful in the morning:


Begin with your apples...


A. Press down into your cheekbones while you open and close your mouth.

B. Continue this process all the way back, following a beard line.

C. Press your thumb against your jawbone, reaching your sideburns. Pull your fingertips to the side of your head.

D. Move along your jawline, then move toward your chin.

E. Next, grab your chin between your thumbs.


5. If your knees are sore from sitting at the desk all day:


A. Sit and straighten your leg while you are seated so that your quad muscles feel soft.

B. Massage the area where it hurts using a fingertip or a knuckle, and hold for 10 seconds.

C. Do not bend your knees, but straighten them twice.

D. Repeat this 2-3 times for each area that hurts.


6. Your butt may be sore from all this sitting:


You may also just massage your butt for the pleasure of it. Here's how you do it.


A. With your legs bent, a tennis ball under each cheek, place your hands on your stomach.

B. Your leg should be lifted off the ground. Roll the ball around, focusing on the tension areas.

C. You can do the same thing on the opposite side.


7. If your forearms feel sore:


This move can cause some pain, but it is worth it if your hands are used a lot for manual labor or typing at the computer. Here's how you do it.


A. Place your hand on your right arm, palm up.

B. Place your hand on the ground with your other arm.

C. Keep going down your arm until you reach your wrist.


Don't squeeze too hard. We're simply twisting the casings of sausages. We aren't removing the meat from it.
