Keep one in your glove box, one in your desk, and one by the bed side. Slip one in a sock or stocking and use the leg of the stocking as a handle when you toss the ball over your shoulder.

Jacques,
Thank you for your order.
Start here and try every link that does not say “roll” somewhere in the title.
The movements you do with the ball are more like acupressure than rolling. Apply gently increasing levels of pressure to a particular area that is tight or sensitive. Alternate between heavier pressure and lighter pressure while you breathe in slow, deep, methodical rhythms. For the most part you should increase applied pressure as you exhale, and decrease applied pressure while maintaining at least slight pressure as you inhale.
The balls are meant for deeper work, whereas the rollers are for more surface work. You may need to use the rollers extensively prior to doing ball work to avoid excessive sensitivity, as the balls can be pretty aggressive and your muscles may fight any release because you are applying too much pressure too quickly to a specific area.
Good luck in your efforts, and keep us posted on your progress.

Hello Jeff,
Pretty sure the 36″ High-Density Foam Roller is the one Steve used at your apartment. Please send me a total including shipping so we can get this “on the way”. Thanks for all you and Caroline do for us. You are both appreciated. Love, Mom
