Our second acupressure ball exercise is a lower back release, which is a gentle way to help reduce tension around the lower back.

How to do it:
1. Sit on the floor with your knees bent.
2. Place the ball on the floor near tight spots and gently shift your body weight back onto the ball.
3. Hold pressure on tighter areas for 20-30 seconds.
4. Move around slowly to explore different areas.

Quick Tip!
Keep the pressure light and controlled, avoiding the spine itself.

Our first acupressure ball exercise is a Rhomboid (Upper Back) Release.

This exercise targets the muscles between your shoulder blades, which often tighten with desk work and poor posture.

How to do it:
1. Stand with your back against the wall and place the ball between your spine and shoulder blade.
2. Lean gently into the wall and slowly bend and straighten your knees to roll the ball up and down.
3. Continue for 60 seconds, then switch sides.

Quick Tip!
Keep movements slow and controlled to target the right spots effectively.

Looking to learn something new that isn't as difficult as juggling?!

In Chiropractic care, we often recommend simple tools to support your body between visits, and acupressure balls are one of your favourites.

Using gentle, targeted pressure, these small massage tools help release muscle tension, improve circulation, and support healthy nervous system function by stimulating key pressure points, helping to relax muscles, improve mobility and enhance recovery.

Over the next few weeks, we'll share simple ways to use them for common areas of tension.

Peaches picked fresh from the bosses tree and brought in to share!

High in antioxidants, rich in dietary fibre and bursting with vitamins, peaches are perfect for a snack, sliced on morning oats or tossed into a smoothie.

If you're popping into the practice this week, feel free to grab some on your way through, while they last 😋
