Neck, Shoulder and Back Tension Relief
Desks, phones, steering wheels and heavy bags all end up in the same place: the top of the shoulders and the muscles along the spine. This course teaches firmer pressure done safely, a 15-minute seated routine that needs only a chair, a back routine for a bed or the floor, and self-massage with a ball and a foam roller for the days you are on your own. You will also learn the habits that help and the warning signs that mean see a doctor instead.
