Pain relief in the palm of your hand
Now, with The Healthy Body Ball, you can enjoy a healing
Trigger Point Massage Therapy in the
comfort of your own home, and you are in control.
How to use Healthy Body Ball
Healthy Body Ball can provide the desired pain and stress relief in just four
easy steps:
1. Locate trigger points or points of pain.
2. Position Healthy Body Ball between afflicted area and a resistant surface.
3. Apply pressure for approximately 15 to 20 seconds.
4. Stretch the muscle and the area that is affected.
An ideal place to use Healthy Body Ball is lying on the floor, bed or couch.
The harder the surface, the deeper the pressure on afflicted areas. There are no
limits to the places where the ball may be used. I always bring the ball with me
to the movies or anywhere I sit for long periods of time. It is so compact that
it’s convenient to bring along on a long air flight, bus or train ride.
The great thing about using Healthy Body Ball is that it really encourages
you to stop, clear your mind, and take some of those deep breaths that you have
been meaning to take. It’s a good tool for regaining focus. Trigger points can
feel intense when they are releasing and that is the time to breathe deeply and
allow relaxation to follow.

Detailed Step by Step Instructions
1. Find a large, flat area where you can lay on Healthy
Body Ball. The harder the surface, the deeper the massage. Begin with a
carpeted floor area or mat on a hardwood or tiled floor. If you are sensitive to
physical pain or if this is your first massage experience, begin on a mattress.
2.Three additional ways to use Healthy Body Ball
include sitting in a chair, as a foot massager or hand-held massager. Use
cushions or a folded towel to raise or lower the height of Healthy Body Ball
to control pressure.
3. Focus on your body. Lay quietly for 10
seconds and take several deep breaths. Notice where you feel tightness or
discomfort in your muscles and start your massage there. These points of pain or
discomfort in your muscles are trigger points, the areas on which you want to
apply the Healthy Body Ball As you work with the Healthy Body Ball pay
attention to the sensations in your body so that you can regulate how much
pressure to apply. This is one of many benefits of a home massage trigger point
therapy tool; you control the amount of pressure. Do what feels best to your
body.
4. Let gravity do the work. Once you position
the Healthy Body Ball on the trigger point, let your body weight settle
onto the Healthy Body Ball so that the pressure is transferred to the trigger
points that need attention. Work on one trigger point at a time holding the
pressure forapproximately10 to 20 seconds.
5. Let pain be your friend. It is perfectly
normal for the trigger point to feel like a sharp pain or dull ache when Healthy
Body Ball is applied. It is a muscle area that is in spasm. Remember the
pain gradually decreases as the trigger point releases. If you start with the
pain at 8 on a scale of 1 to 10 with 10 being intense pain, hold the pressure on
the trigger point until the intensity of the pain diminishes to 3. Increase the
pressure applied to the point as it starts to release.
6. Work additional muscles around that point to
release the whole area. Work one area at a time. Go slowly. Roll around on the
ball to find the next trigger point or area you want to work.
7. Relax. While using Healthy Body Ball , take
deep diaphragmatic breaths. Concentrate on relaxing your entire body. The more
you relax the affected muscle, the faster the spasm will release.
8. Use Healthy Body Ball often. Give
yourself a massage as often as your body feels it needs one. The more regular
and frequent your massages, the more beneficial the results. Start with a
moderate schedule to see how your body responds and then build up to a regular
schedule.
9. Stretch. In conjunction with Healthy Body
Ball stretching is highly recommended. Stretch and use moist heat to complement
your massage. Stretching the areas of tightness for 30 seconds to one minute
will greatly enhance the benefits of your therapeutic massage. Consult a
stretching book if you are not sure how to properly stretch. Applying moist heat
in the form of a hot towel or soaking in warm water also greatly accelerates
your healing and adds to the benefits of therapeutic massage. Trigger Point
Therapy with Healthy Body Ball releases toxins and waste in the muscles.
Soaking your body will help remove the toxins and relax the muscles.
10. Drink lots and lots of fresh water. This
helps flush the toxins and waste from the body so that it can return to a
healthy, normal state.
Listening to Your Body
When working with Healthy Body Ball, let pain be your friend and your guide.
Most people avoid pain, but pain is the body’s way of communicating. Pain will
guide you to trigger points. The Healthy Body Ball User’s Guide has helpful tips
for locating trigger point problem areas. Within approximately 20 seconds of
applying Healthy Body Ball to the afflicted muscles, the pain should dissipate
and, in many cases, be gone entirely. When you use the ball, you will feel an
increase in relaxation and mental clarity, as well as pain relief. Although the
muscle doctor is nowhere to be found, self-massage, taking charge of your pain
and healing yourself is. Happy Healing!
