These techniques are simple ways to use a Lacrosse ball to decrease tension and pain in the foot.

The basic techniques in the video include trigger point release by putting steady pressure onto a tender spot on the foot, rolling the ball under the foot, and pinning the ball and then stretching the area by moving the toes.

Try one or all and see what works best. These are useful techniques to be used before training as a warm up or after training as a cool down.
