Friday Fitness: Myofascial Release

Today we will be using a tennis ball to help release tension in the chest, back and shoulders.  Myofascial release, a form of self-massage, can be used throughout the body at particular trigger points.  These trigger points can represent areas of hardened inflammation or connective tissue that is excessively tight.  The techniques in the video below will help relax the muscle fibers, open the shoulders and increase flexibility.  Have fun!
