Being that not all of us have the time or money to receive a massage for the recommended once every 4 to 6 weeks, our bodies tend to accumulate a needless amount of tension, stress and pain. To help hold you over in between those massage sessions here is an inexpensive and easy massage tool you can make yourself in as little as a minute!
I present to you...The Sockball Massager! Sorry, that's as fancy as the name gets.
All you need is a tube sock and three tennis balls. Once assembled, use as needed...legs, back, neck, arms, etc. Use as frequently as needed to temporarily relieve the pain and/or discomfort until you can see your MT.
Leaning on a wall or lying on the floor will allow you to control how much pressure you see fit to use.
Here are the necessary items and how to accessible and use them.

ReplyDelete@Laura, don't worry, it's never to late to get a pro massage. And after you graduate from nursing school you'll definitely want to invest in a massage routine. For the mean time, put Corey to work! LOL
ReplyDelete@Tammy, you can use my other tube sock. hahaha
Glad you like the photos. I had to use some effects since they didn't come out as sharp as I had hoped. But I'm pleased with the end results.
