The Price We Pay for Sitting Too Much

Well gotta get off my ass do some exercise. Eat less. That's not a new mantra. Treadmill, stationary bike, 21 century resistance machines (barbell is a poor substitute, but carefully selected can also work)

On shoulder pain...
I had surgery and had more time at home in front of the computer
My baseline upper back pain got worse.
I visited massage people to help, a very intense vigorous massage, seemed to help some.
I got back to work for about a month but the pain got worse.
My right arm and shoulder developed new pain, intense pain.
I went to see a chiropractor as there was no way I was going to see a surgeon.
My structural alignment was SHIT.
I got some adjustments.
I used a neck Denneroll, built up to 20 minutes. This brought my neck into better alignment.
I did exercises to build up muscles in neck and upper back to TIGHTEN up what had been loosened up by massage and poor posture.
With time this got better.
I also did some denneroll thoracic stuff in the chiro office.
I got off the Motrin.
I went back to work.
I raised my computer monitor to my eye height.
I keep my head back.
I rarely use the lotions and potions that I have used since high school!!!
I love this thing:
I used to follow Don Miller religiously and recall him talking about massage being bad:

Thank you Bee. I have been doing rotator cuff exercises at the gym (light). I have also made it a point to get up every 30 min stretch and/or stand for 8-10min. I will look into that back stretcher...
How long do you lay on the stretcher for? do you use it multiple times a day or once?
