We use balls for self-massage.  Our tension patterns can be caused by a long-standing postural habits, by recent strain from overworking, by trigger points, or by stress.  The pressure of the ball between your body and a hard surface (such as the floor, a wall or another body part) creates the optimal conditions for release in the muscular and fascial layers.  
Awareness of sensation is expanded and movement efficiency is improved. We release not only in the body but also in the mind; the ballwork brings about a welcome feeling of relaxation and mental calm. These benefits can be experienced by people of any age or physical condition. 

Besides the obvious benefits of feeling more physically comfortable, there is a deep life altering shift that happens when we settle fully and let go of operating from a mind set of stress.  When the nervous system relaxes after a ball session, we are able to think clearly, take our time to make the best decisions, operate our bodies with precision and skill and interact with ourselves and others from our clear center.

A brief session can change your mode of mental and physical operation, and a longer session can facilitate release of limiting emotions that were lying deep below the surface.  It’s definitely worth the time!
