Try these between massage sessions, especially when doing something

repetitive like deskwork or gardening.

Reach up and grab the base of the left side of your neck with your right

hand. Squeeze and release, moving your hand down your left shoulder

and arm. Repeat several times on both sides of your body.

1. Warm the arm by quickly squeezing the muscles, then briskly

rubbing up and down the entire area.

2. Put one forearm on a counter or a high table. Use a folded towel for

padding if you like. Now, place your other elbow on top of the

warmed one, and press firmly in a line down to the wrist. Repeat

three times down each line, turning your forearm until you have

worked the entire area.

3. Using your thumb, return to any spots that are extra tender, and press

firmly and gently for a few seconds on each spot. Repeat all or part

of these steps several times a day.
