    Many people think that massage therapy is an extravagance, a luxury, or an expense awaiting justification. Few think it as a a viable form of medical treatment. But it really is. Studies have shown that regular massage therapy improves range of motion, reduces recovery time, increases muscle tone, and increases flexibility. Since massage acts as an "auxiliary heart" by increasing circulation, it thus facilitates the elimination of toxins and other metabolic wastes generated as a byproduct of resistance training. Massage therapy reduces the time that it takes the body to heal an injury. Additionally, diseases can be prevented by massage.

    Owing to long periods sitting in front of the computer, your neck and shoulders are tight and sore. The followings are some self-massage techniques on neck and shoulder.

    Technique 1

    ·Place your palm on the back on your neck, with the thumb parallel to the other fingers.

    ·Gently squeeze and hold your neck.

    ·Then slowly turn your head in the opposite direction, away from your arm.

    ·Slowly come back to center.

    ·Release and relax, squeeze again and turn your head in the opposite direction.

    ·Repeat 5 to 7 times each side.

    Technique 2

    ·Make a fist and place the knuckles of index and middle fingers right below your ear.

    ·Keep your arm close to your body.

    ·Slowly turn your head in the opposite direction.

    ·Then come back to center.

    ·Repeat 5 to 7 times each side.

    Technique 3

    ·Place your hand, just below your collar bone.

    ·Then slide it over, next to your shoulder joint pressing firmly but gently (no need to push hard).

    ·In a smooth, slow motion that resembles pulling a tool from a tool belt, lift your arm up and over, pointing away from yourself.

    ·Repeat 5 to 7 times, each side.

    If you think that self-massage can not bring you expected effect, you can use some massage apparatus like massage roller, electric massager, massage armchair, massage couch, etc.

    Please insist on doing massage. You will finally realize good effects.
