Golf ball foot massage

The newest addition to my workspace is a pink golf ball. I'm waiting for someone to spot it underneath my desk and raise an eyebrow.

My feet are very sore. Not so much NOW as when I find myself on minute 7 of running in my Vibrams. You see, I'm slowly building up the muscles in my feet as my body re-learns the gait I was born with and subsequently overrode by donning sneakers.

So I've procured a pink golf ball, source undisclosed, and am periodically standing up, pawing it with one foot, then the other, and sitting back down. Chuck regrets that this exercise is not billable, but our clients should be advised to check that it hasn't found its way onto the bill under an ambiguous description ("research re: physiological conditions surrounding defendant's ambulatory patterns")

If you, too, want to join the ranks of elite pink-golf-ball-rolling witch foot doctors, here is exactly one tip for effectively massaging the feet:

-Place the ball on the floor and roll the bottom of your foot on it until you feel a tight or painful spot; then apply more pressure by leaning your body weight into it, but keep the foot muscles relaxed.

I couldn't find any others online, nor could I come up with any. Just roll the damn golf ball.
