Stress Relief Tool - Roll Out Your Stress

Are the muscles in your shoulders, lower back, or legs tight? A simple self-care technique for stress relief is to use a foam roller while lying on the floor. It allows you to effectively massage areas of your body quickly without the added time nor cost of a real massage. You simply use a foam roller such as this and you place the area of your body that's tight on the top of the roller, and then you roll back and forth a few times until it gets less tight. It's especially effective for those of you that have a stressful commute. Google foam rollers and order one that fits your budget. Choose one that is advertised on the softer side, cuz the ones with the harder edges are going to be a lot less comfortable. Take a few minutes in the evening to roll out your tight muscles while watching your favorite show or listening to music. And if the budget doesn't call for you getting one of those foam rollers, a simple tennis ball can do the trick in a pinch.
