I just did my lower body and i'm onto the upper body and it feels great. I have a tip for getting the muscles on either side of the tibia. The same way you put two tennis balls in a sock for the erectors, I did that and tied the end of the sock so the balls stayed close together. The tibia fits nicely in the groove of the balls and provides stability when working the muscles. Hopefully that helps someone out there. Thank You for this.

I just wanted to say thanks for all this awesome information! I've been having some bad knee pain when squatting during my workouts (I do Mehdi's Stronglifts 5x5 program, which is how I found your site). Always had bad hips, something that even affected me during my competitive swimming career, but the exercises, stretches, and other info posted here has helped me tremendously!

OK I just had deep pain almost everywhere. I think my ITB needs to be surgically removed-LOL !!! Hell from knee to hip! Foot, peroneals and calf - many spot but not full length like ITB. Its a funny kind of pain in that it did seem therapeutic-but intense(like I just beat my self up). Tonight my legs feel like they are glowing- or have been turned back on. I'm a bit concerned that I have so many painful spots. I just turned 58 and work on buildings-attics,tight crawl spaces on my kees a lot(with pads). My right knee is popping and cracking a lot and pain when I squat. I had PRP(white blood cell) therapy with no lasting result after 1 1/2 months. My legs feel better after my initial TBT(Tennis Ball Torture). So tell me do you think I'm over doing it - or just have an older painful body- or what.............? I'm pretty sure I'm extremely grateful to you !! Hopefully I'm not paralized in the morning. How often can I do this - I feel like doing it again tomorrow ? Seriously, I really appreciate this great info and presentation-really beneficial !!! Nic Quick ~;D Whatcha Mate. OK I just had deep pain almost everywhere.

Absolutely no pain no gain, wooden rolling pin is just like a torture foam roller. Basically until the trigger point is released.

Also, on how often I should do this soft tissue work? I have been experiencing pain in my right knee for a few weeks now, and it has also started clicking when I am walking - something that it has never done before. Thanks for a great article, just a suggestion; try rolling your calves over a wooden rolling pin - the pain is A LOT more for me than with a tennis ball. No pain, no gain, right? LOL, Thanks, Hi Lauren,
