Feet
Give your aching feet a stimulating massage by using the NolaRola while seated. Using one foot at a time, or both together, roll back and forth over the Kneading Rings.
The soles of the feet contain many important acupressure points which can be stimulated using the Cone Shaped End. Refer to texts on hand and foot reflexology for detailed information on the location of specific reflex points.
Ankles and Achilles Tendon
Your ankles and Achilles tendon can benefit from using the End Grooves of the NolaRola. Activities such as aerobics, basketball,
racquet ball, tennis, and jogging all put a tremendous amount of pressure on the ankles and
Achilles tendon. |
Using the Cone Shaped End
You can often find specific, localized areas of tension about 2" or 3" above and below major joints such as elbows, knees, and shoulders. These spots can be found by finger pressure, and then gently worked out using the tip or side of the cone shaped end of the NolaRola.
Use light pressure only on these spots. The purpose is to release tension, not to cause bruising.
Start by pressing lightly, then as tension subsides
and the spot becomes less painful, you can apply slightly more pressure to reach deeper muscle layers. Gentle, sustained pressure is sufficient. Do not jab or hit yourself, and do not apply pressure to the bones or any swollen areas.
