Thanks all for the advice and suggestions. The day after the Chiro I had a tight pain in the other side of my neck when I turned my head, so cancelled the second appointment.

I had an awesome Chiro in Ballarat who did the xrays once and developed a realistic management plan. Walking out you felt like a million dollars which encouraged better posture. In conjunction I went frequently to a deep tissue sports masseuse. She was amazing.

There are a few suggestions here I’m certainly going to look into. Reflexology and remedial massage combo is booked for Wednesday during my lunch break :D I tried 1hr of Hot Rocks tonight. OMG :shock: didn’t do too much for my lower back, but talk about a destresser, certainly softened my shoulders. Be interesting to see how I sleep tonight.

A holistic approach is the plan. I i'll keep trying until i find a technique or combinations of techniques that suit me. In the mean time, getting active and loosing a few kgs is also the plan.

Thanks :kuda:

A good rub helps with stiff but its only ever temporary.

He wants to see your large boobs in that white shirt again, its pretty obvious :lol: As said in previous posts, chiro's can really screw you over and get you coming back week after week.. I seen this happen to my father for years, until he woke up and found someone decent who got results within a few sessions..
Be very wize about who you go and see.. Good luck with it all :)

Cheers, yeah my dad was the same, ever since i could remember her was going to a chiro because his back was wrecked from working a backhow for 20 something yrs.. at one time he thought about giving up the bike :shock: and that so wasnt an option.. so after years of looking he now he goes to a sports masseuse (and keeps active)..

Got busy at work and postponed the scary chick.. tomorrow is D-day.. :?

OMG I knew I was in trouble when i shook her hand :shock:

She sat me down. I will fix what needs to be fixed. And she did.
Feeling pretty awesome after deep tissue and reflexology – wont say it didn’t hurt
She said your neck and shoulders tells me you are very stressed - what work do you do?
After I told her, she prayed for me.

I’m not religious, but her words were very kind
