body rolling to Mary53

Okay, I bought a ball a little larger than a soccer ball today. I think I have some adhesions forming since I have some discomfort that I can't blame on anything else. I figure the body rolling can't hurt even if I'm wrong about the adhesions. So my question is what do I do with the ball now. Looking at it hasn't helped the discomfort at all!!!!

Mary, I need a crash course. I know it will probably be a lot of typing for you, but I need details, specific instructions. I'm sure there are many other women on here that will benefit besides me. Thank you in advance!

I certainly would never take Mary's place, but, her postings on ball rolling really did help me so much.  She had mentioned that the adhesions begin to grow from the pelvic bone, so the idea was to break them up or crush them.  She described to lay over the top of the ball on your pelvic area and to roll slowly up, down and around over the pelvic area.  This really works if your problem is really adhesions.  I was in extreme pain and couldn't go to the bathroom at all.  I instantly felt better  and doing this broke up the adhesions and allowed passage by that evening.  Good luck Rebel

Thanks Mary and Teresa! My ball is probably only 10" in diameter. It's a kid's ball from the dollar store. It may be too small, but I only weigh about 114 lbs. I'm sure going to try it. Seems to me getting all that blood flowing would be beneficial even if I don't have adhesions. And your instructions are crystal clear, just what I wanted.
