Thank you 😊

It’s easy to forget recovery and injury prevention when getting out on the bike is your priority. Was great to have some work on a gluteus ni**le from Massage by Anna Agnieszka Skibinska at The Fitness Garage this morning 🙌
No chance of falling asleep but legs feel less tense already!

There are many common causes of muscle tension. Of course, these aren’t the same thing as pain from a sustained injury, which needs a specialist’s attention. For most of us, muscle pain comes from the activities we do daily:
• Healthy levels of exercise
• Standing for long periods of time
• Working at a desk or computer
• Long commutes
• Back pain associated with menstruation
• General fatigue
• Fighting a flu
Thankfully, there’s a simple way to ease muscle soreness, and you can do it all by yourself at home. It’s the tennis ball deep tissue massage.

All you need to do is grab a tennis ball. They’re super cheap, if you don’t have one lying around the house already. This is going to become your massage buddy.
All you have to do is clear a space on the floor big enough for you to lie down on, and use complete deep tissue self-massage.

Alternatively, you can choose to focus on the one or two areas that’s giving you the most trouble, and skip the other steps.

Shoulders and Neck Massage
Place tennis ball on the ground under your shoulder muscles (located between your neck and shoulder joint. NOT on your spine or shoulder blade)
Rock your shoulder from side to side over the tennis ball.
Do this one shoulder at a time, don’t roll over your spine.
Midback Massage
Move the tennis ball towards the middle of your back, supporting your weight with your hands and feet.
Rock the tennis ball up and down your back, avoiding the spine.
Repeat on the other side.
Lower Lumbar Massage
Move the tennis ball towards your lower back.
Rock the tennis ball up and down your lower back.
Repeat on the other side.
Massage for Hamstrings
Move the tennis ball under your hamstring. Support your weight with the opposite foot.
Rock back and forth, repeat on your other leg
Massage for Calf Muscles
Place tennis ball under your calf, just below your knee. Support your weight with your arms and the opposite foot.
Rock the tennis ball under the entire length of your calf (from below your knee to above your ankle)
Repeat on your other leg
