My physical therapist is trained in myofascial release and has me on a home

program that really helps. You Tube has some great videos that show you " self

myofascial exercises " for different parts of the bodies and I use a tennis ball

to get the area of of spasm.

Of course, I am not a Doctor and everyone should check with your Doctor or get a

referral with a trained " myofascial release " trained physical therapy and get a

good evaluation and home program. I forgot about mentioning this and Thanks for

reminding me as I agree with what you say.
