You can effectively use the ball on your upper back and shoulders by placing it between your body and a wall. Stand with your back to the wall, position the ball on the tense area—for example, around your shoulder blade or the muscles along your spine—and gently lean back. Because the ball is small and firm, you can easily adjust the intensity by shifting your weight or bending your knees to apply more or less pressure. Slowly roll by moving your feet to guide the ball over the muscle, avoiding direct pressure on bones like your spine or shoulder joints. This controlled, targeted approach is often chosen for releasing tension after long periods of sitting or desk work, offering a more precise option than a foam roller for these hard-to-reach spots.
