Place therapy balls in mesh tote along left leg, bend your knee and lean your bodyweight into the balls to a comfortable level of pressure. Slide your thigh forwards and backwards so the balls roll across the side of your leg for one to two minutes. Move the balls a few inches higher or lower and repeat. Switch sides.
Perfect your Form: Take slow deep breaths – it’s not about how deep you can go, but how steady you can breathe.
Dial it Down: Lie on your side to decrease your thigh’s pressure on the balls.
Amp it Up: Use one ball to deepen the pressure.
Targets: IT band
