Product Description

Lacrosse ball massage is a form of self-myofascial release.

Fascia, or the connective tissue that covers all our muscles and organs are often overlooked and can cause pain, muscle imbalances and poor movement patterns. Tight fascia are pulling the body out of alignment increasing pressure on joints and muscles. The goal of myofascial therapy is to loosen and stretch the fascia in order the underlying tissue to move freely. Self-myofascial release is best conducted after a workout, but you can also do it throughout the day. It takes just a few minutes. Like stretching, the best results are observed after consistent practice.

TRIGGER POINT DEACTIVATION

Trigger points, also known as muscle knots, are the spots which are located on specific spots on muscles. They are one of the most common sources of referred pain, which means that when the trigger points are pressed or activated, pain is felt somewhere else in the body. You may have a trigger point in your glute that causes pain in your low back. Lacrosse Balls are one of the self-applied tools for releasing trigger points. By using the Lacrosse Ball to apply consistent pressure to them, the trigger points are released (deactivated). The muscles are eased and the pain is gone. The pressure may be painful at first, but after treatment the muscles will feel noticeably eased and relaxed.
