Free & Easy Self-Care

Neck, back & shoulder pain is the most common complaint treated by massage therapists. The pain can be caused by some sort of trauma like whiplash from a car accident, but usually it's caused by the daily stress of working in an office environment in a sedentary position all day.

In an earlier post, I talked about my belief that chronic neck, back & shoulder pain would turn into fibromyalgia and that self-care could prevent a diagnosis of fibromyalgia.

One of the simplest and cheapest ways to begin self-care is to focus on your breath. Breathwork, breathing in deeply and exhaling completely with focus, is used in many meditation practices. You don't have to label it meditation. Just breathe.

It's free and easy.
