Relaxed and eyes closed, you need to lie in this position for ten minutes or twenty.

For this massage you need to take the roll of foam and two tennis balls tied in a sock.

Your actions:

To open the chest, put the roll on the floor, lie down on it so that it lay along the spine from head to buttocks, the knees should be bent and the soles of the feet to stand firmly on the floor, arms at sides. For at least 20 seconds lying relaxed, and your Breasts will begin to unfold. You can do smooth movement left and right, this will help stretch your back muscles.

To remove stress from the spine, place your roll perpendicular to the spine. Lie on your back, but your head and neck hold with his hands, knees bent, feet rested in the floor, the buttocks must not touch the floor. Ride up and down on the roll back to the roll worked and relaxed the muscles enough for 20-30 seconds.

The neck and head, hold hands. Roll back on the balls, especially in the clamped areas walk many times while pressing muscles will be relaxed. A similar procedure can be done while riding in the car, just put the balls under your back in a tight spot when driving a car, they will work your muscles.

Against pain in the legs

You need Golf balls or empty bottles of mineral water (chilled in the fridge). Put the balls or bottle to the floor and circular movements massage the locations where you see pain or stiffness. If the pain is too great, and you can't massage this very spot, work the area around it.

When you need a professional

If you are experiencing severe pain, especially in the back, it can be a serious signal that you have problems that self-massage can not do, and should consult a doctor. About serious problems, evidence of the need to consult a professional doctor, saying such symptoms are:

The loss of sensitivity.
