Therapeutic Massage Therapy can relive many painful symptoms. This self-care tip may provide some relief.

• Place a yoga mat or beach towel on the floor. Using a small tennis ball or lacrosse ball, lay on your back, over the ball.
• Try moving your back over the ball, in between your shoulder blades, so that specific areas are targeted. Allow gravity to do the massage for you!
• Apply trauma oil, arnica oil or your favorite over-the-counter pain relief cream.
