The Arms
People who write a lot, or sit at computer keyboards much of the day, often experience muscular tension in the forearm and upper arm. This tension can be eased through use of the Kneading Rings.
Be careful to use gentle, sustained pressure, while rolling the forearm or upper arm slowly back and forth. The muscles of the arms and neck are closely connected, and often tension in one area is also felt in the other. Take the time to observe these connections in your own body, and to use your NolaRola to work out these areas of tension.
Wrist and Hand
The muscles that support the wrist and hand can be worked by using the End Grooves. Place your hand as shown in the illustration with the side of your hand in the End Groove. Gently roll back and forth, working the areas above and below the wrist.
This area connects to the shoulders, and is helpful after activities requiring sustained gripping, such as tennis, golf, raking, using a hammer, etc.

Thighs
Thigh muscles are worked by using either the Central Section, or the Kneading Rings. Experiment to see what feels best. Use the Central Section while sitting up,
rolling it back and forth over the quadriceps (front thigh muscles). Also while sitting up, you can place the Kneading Rings under your hamstrings (rear thigh muscles), and let the weight of your legs help work out the tense spots.
Calves
The easiest way to massage your calf muscles with your NolaRola is lying down on your back. Do not attempt to roll. Just place the Kneading Rings under the belly of the calf muscle. For added pressure, gently rock side to side.
