    If you started off with a lacross ball, the ball’s density is tough to handle at first. I usually start clients with a tennis ball and have them progress as they begin to adapt or as they seem the tennis ball doesn’t allow as much pressure as they need it to have. Lacross balls are really tough and for the first time, may lead to soreness if not already conditioned by a softer ball.

    The reason you’re probably able to get better depth while having something under your heel is because it gives your ankle more room by reducing the amount of flexion you need to balance in the bottom position.

    Look at Mwod videos on ankle/heelcord mobility and also work on opening up the hips/lumbopelvic hip complex. Work on generating torque at the hips and focus on mobilizing T-spine.
