Suffering from back or neck pain? While massage therapy can help alleviate discomfort, it often comes with a hefty price tag. But don’t worry – we found a video from an Italian massage therapist who’s sharing simple exercises that can make a real difference, and they won’t cost you a dime.

All you need is a tennis ball, a flat wall, and just six minutes a day. With this easy technique, you can tackle neck and back pain, as well as muscle spasms, right from the comfort of your home.

The first step is to locate the pain points in your neck or back. Then, press the tennis ball against the wall and gently massage the affected area in a circular motion. If you find a spot with more intense pain, apply more pressure and hold still on that spot for relief.

A word of caution: be extra careful with your back – avoid putting too much pressure in that area. Focus on the muscles that typically get tight from neck and back pain.

The massage therapist also shared some great exercises you can do without a tennis ball, aimed at targeting your upper back and neck, though they can be helpful for lower back issues too.

So why spend a fortune on professional massages when you can practice these simple techniques at home? Share this tip with your friends – they’ll thank you!
