Ball Acupressure Works

Take control of muscle tension, stiffness, and everyday aches with Ball Acupressure Works.

Ball Acupressure Works is a practical, illustrated guide to self-acupressure using ordinary tennis balls, precise point placement, and your own body weight. Instead of rolling randomly over muscles, Ball Acupressure uses targeted, sustained pressure on specific areas of the body. Position the ball, relax, and let gravity do the work.

The book is designed to make these techniques easy to understand and practical to use at home, before activity, after exercise, or between professional treatments.

Learn Ball Acupressure techniques for:

• Low back pain and stiffness
• Hip, buttock, and sciatic-type discomfort
• Knee pain and restricted movement
• Calf, Achilles, and ankle tension
• Hamstring tightness
• Neck and upper-back tension
• Shoulder and rotator cuff discomfort

Each section combines clear explanations with illustrated treatment positions so you can see where to place the tennis ball and how to use your body weight to control the amount of pressure.

A major principle of the method is simple: you do not need to roll the ball back and forth. Precise placement and sustained pressure allow you to relax into the technique while gravity supplies much of the force.

Written by licensed acupuncturist Marc Coseo, Ball Acupressure Works brings together decades of clinical experience, sports experience, and practical self-care instruction. The techniques grew from the idea of giving people simple ways to continue working on muscle tension and mobility outside the treatment room.

Whether you are active in sports, spend long hours sitting, experience recurring muscle tightness, or simply want a practical method of self-care, this book gives you an easy-to-follow system that requires very little equipment.

All you need is a tennis ball, a little floor or wall space, and a few minutes.

A simple ball. A precise point. Targeted pressure. Better movement.
