Penn Championship Tennis Balls

Penn Championship Tennis Balls

Softer massage balls for targeted areas

Tennis balls are are typically larger than lacrosse balls and have a softer feel. They provide a more comfortable and less intense pressure point massage, especially if you are working on sensitive or inflamed areas. The softer texture can also be useful for patients who are new to self-massage and want to start with a gentler approach.

Nitro Golf Balls

Nitro Golf Balls

Harder surface massage balls for the feet

Golf balls can be helpful for massaging the feet. I sometimes recommend freezing them beforehand for some added cold therapy. However, there is a potential risk of injury particularly if the golf ball is applied with too much force or in a way that causes pain. Patients should be cautious and start with lighter pressure. You just need a couple but this is the smallest pack I could find. If you have a spare golf ball at home, that's even better!
