You're shooting for the muscles and the fascia to release. Sometimes finding the spot that hurts "good" and leaning into it is enough. You can do it on the floor too but gravity may put too much pressure on the ball. Tennis balls, those PInky hi-bounce balls that are about $2 each or any kind of smallish ball that feels good works.
Thanks, Janice... I love it! Many times after a spasm, my back fascia feels all pulled in. Horrible feeling. I will try your 'trick'!

GramE, what a pretty block you made out of Terri's fabric. I got that fabric too and just loved playing with it.
