How To Make Your Own Back Ball

So, many people had been asking me about what to do if they hurt their back at home.

  • What can they do to release it?
  • Is there a quick fix that could at least alleviate some of the pain?
  • Is there anything that will help them until they can book in to see me?

My answer is to make your own back ball.

And it’s really simple. So I put together this video series below (from a clinic I founded in 2017) to show you how to make one and then I have added extra videos on how to use it to alleviate common neck and back pain.

A word of caution…

Please see someone if this pain is shooting or referring anywhere and always consult your health professional prior to attempting any exercise or rehabilitation. As with all the other legal stuff, these instructional videos do not take into consideration your personal circumstances, nor do they provide medical advice and may or may not be suitable to your specific condition. I have attempted to show you something that is reasonable safe and could get you out of a jam if you have simple musculoskeletal pain. Don’t sue m if these exercises do not help your specific problem but feel free to reach out if you have any muscle or joint pain in your back or anywhere else and I would love to help you out.

Take Care
