Do you play with your balls?

My hamstrings are garbage. I keep one of these at the office to roll under my feet from time to time:

I also find stretching the piriformis is better. I use a foam roller for that. Neither is as good as a few minutes with one of these directly on the hammys:

Getting old sucks.

My experiences with myofascial release:
foam roller: feels great anywhere, a couple consistent months relieved me of IT band pain in knee
"stick" self roller: feels ok, noticed no results
lacrosse ball: never tried it

I have been trying a stretch called "thoracic bridge" lately to open up the back. Results inconclusive so far.

Yoy didn't make those balls....you're playing with someone else's balls.

Just ask yourself, "Would an idiot sit on a ball?"
