Spikey Ball Self Massage For Feet and Hands

Chiropractor • June 7, 2023

Our Chiropractors and Remedial Massage Therapists often see patients for conditions other than the usual Lower back pain, neck pain and headaches. It is very common for our patients to report that they suffer from pain in their arms and feet, along with or separate from their spinal pain. Fortunately, there is a very easy, cheap tool you can use at home to help relieve some of this tension. The Spikey Massage Ball can be used for self massage on many places, its very easy to use, and can be taken and used anywhere, which is great for people who travel a lot.


Here are 2 simple self massage techniques you can do at home to help minimise your foot and arm pain:

Self Hand/Arm Massage:

1.   Using your spikey massage ball, apply gentle pressure onto your forearm

2.   Roll back and forth, up and down the forearm into the hands

3.   Rub the ball in between your hands

4.   Continue For 1 minute
