Custom Cut Tennis Ball Halves will

• Release tension
• Improve flexibility of your feet
• Increase blood flow and circulation
• Promote sensory awakening helping with overall balance 
• Prevent plantar fascitiis and ankle sprains

We prefer 1/2 versus full tennis balls because:

1. They yield more than a round ball when applying pressure providing a comfortable massage
2. they’re not round so they stay put and don’t roll away. This prevents falls by minimizing the risk of slipping on them
