Say goodbye to sore aches, tight backs, and cranky shoulder -- these techniques will help you feel your best when it matters most.

Low Back Reset: For Long Rehersal Days

Use the lacrosse ball along your low back to release tension & improve mobility for développés, arabesques, & floorwork.

Tip: Don't roll on your spine -- find the muscles just to the side of your spine

Foot Release: Give Your Arches Some Love

Rolling the bottom of your feet improves mobility, reduces tension, & helps your jumps feel lighter
