Health and well-being at the heart of self-massage balls

Yoga Tune Up has developed a therapeutic method inspired by traditional yoga. It combines yoga, corrective exercises, self-massage and breathing exercises. The aim of this new form of therapeutic fitness is to improve the general well-being of the person practising it. 

Built around three pillars - pain, posture and performance - the Yoga Tune Up method has the following objectives:

  • Eliminate pain,
  • Improving body posture,
  • Increase physical performance.

Certain parts of our body are either over-used, under-used or under-activated. This results in painful areas, loss of mobility, increased stress and a general lack of well-being.

Yoga Tune Up sessions combine dynamic and static movements to help you better perceive your body, listen more attentively to your physiological sensations and take control of your physical performance. 

The Yoga Tune Up brand has developed its own accessories to complement this unique method. Self-massage balls specially developed to enhance the benefits of the movements.

They are made from a material designed to adhere very well to the body. This means they can 'cling' to the skin for an in-depth massage of the various layers of skin, muscles and points of tension. 

Different ball sizes and densities enable the benefits to be concentrated on all areas of the body. Even the hardest-to-reach parts of the body, such as the neck, can be treated thanks to the brand's wide range of products. Some of the smallest balls even feel like the thumbs of a physiotherapist or physiotherapist using acupressure to unblock trigger points.

Yoga Tune Up is the ideal solution for people looking for a simple, safe and effective way to get rid of long-standing aches and pains, relieve recurring tension and feel better about their bodies.

Self-massage classes are particularly recommended for people suffering from backache or chronic pain, digestive problems, poor circulation or frequent aches and pains after physical effort. The Yoga Tune Up method is also ideal for people who want to get back into gentle physical activity, but who often spend long periods of time in a static position (sitting).

Why we love this brand

As a yoga teacher, Laurence quickly became interested in the benefits of self-massage. Having trained in the technique and received several certifications in the United States, Laurence is now happy to be able to pass on this little-known method in Europe. She regularly teachesmyofascial self-massage in various studios (stretching the fascias through massages using pressure from your own body on balls).

Convinced of the benefits of self-massage balls, she also incorporates them into certain Yin yoga sessions to increase their impact. They massage deep muscles and joints through stretching exercises. Physical performance is improved and muscles recover more quickly. Self-massage relieves pain, relaxes muscles, improves blood circulation and releases tension. 

The Yoga Tune Up self-massage balls are part of the Yoga Nest e-shop range, because we think they're the best accessories of their kind on the market. The material used to make them feels great on the skin, and is both soft and grippy. All parts of the body can be treated, depending on the model of ball used: lower back, hips, calves, thighs, heels, neck, wrists, etc.

This tried-and-tested method is recommended for everyone, whether they do sport or not. Self-massage is not recommended for pregnant or post-partum women. Please seek your doctor's advice if you have any doubts about compatibility with your state of health or a present or past pathology.
