Regardless if you are an athlete or a recreational exerciser, repeating the same movements or maintaining yourself in a fixed, prolonged posture can lead to developing tight muscles and trigger points. This can contribute to both pain, and poor mobility. Eventually, this becomes a problem because the muscles need to be elastic in order to optimize our movement abilities.
Having a tight over-worked muscle that is restricted by knots (trigger point) can't accept impact nor can they produce force effectively. Our brain is then forced to come up with alternative movement patterns, which leads to over-compensation. Before trying to correct movements or address any form of muscle imbalances, there is a need to alleviate the pain and lengthen the tight muscles.
We can use the Breakaway MobBall™️ in the following ways:
✅ to warm up and loosen tissue
✅ to relax muscle
✅ to provide trigger point release
✅ to stimulate underactive muscles
