Son stands in a door way and pressures the lacrosse ball into his hip flexor and kind of grinds into it.  Seems to help, but it looks very odd, nothing he'd do in public for sure.

My son learned this trick from a local college/Milb pitcher he trained with. The size and density of the ball is a great way to get at knots that can't easily be reached by foam rollers. You can really dig into a painful area. My son swears by them and my husband, who is a high school pitching coach, now keeps a supply on hand for the kids to use.
