TFL Soft Tissue Mobilization - Lacrosse Ball

Is this for yourself or for a patient?

  • HOW: Begin by lying on your back, placing a lacrosse ball just underneath the side of your hips as you roll onto your side on the ball. Use your bodyweight to roll out the soft tissue in that area. 
  • FEEL: You should feel a massage like pressure on the side of your hip. 
  • COMPENSATION: Make sure to try and lay on your side on the ball, not on your back.
