Just before taking a year "off" I made this short "advice" recording for a client presenting with neck pain and associated reduced mobility.

Necks are vulnerable and the supporting muscles are easily frightened. Quite often muscles in our shoulders become involved or may even be causal. These movements help to remind muscles that their default is usually best "relax" rather than "contract".

Although regularly using these three simple movements will often help it's important to contact a specialist, especially when symptoms persist.

Quotes can be uncertain and often credited inaccurately. The following words were supposedly said by Bruce Lee. Whoever their source they are precious:

“A wise man can learn more from a foolish question than a fool can learn from a wise answer.”

Mainly for the Shiatsu community, perhaps others may be interested . . .

During a treatment “points” sometimes call me. Usually politely (“While you’re passing.”), often quietly (“Don’t forget me.”), and sometimes they shout loudly (“Hey Buddy, be here now, right now!”).

This song, You Call Me, came into mind during a recent session.

Grateful thanks to Martin Julich for introducing me to the work of Bugge and Sidsel.
