sore easily. I do my best to sit in proper posture when I’m at a
desk or looking at a computer, but after a day of work, particularly
a long one, I often still feel the sting in my shoulders and neck.
The case was the same when I was in school.
So I go back home and relax, even using a neck pillow. When I started doing yoga almost a year ago, I found it really helped
me relax and become less tense in my neck and shoulders. After every yoga practice any pain I might have had is released.
Naturally when I had the chance to get a massage the other day I requested a neck and shoulders massage. It felt really good,
