The massaging was done very informally as needed. Friends, family, my wife, or myself administered the massages. Results were temporary and brief. However, the massages are very relaxing, even if short.

Advice & Tips
My physiotherapist is a genius. He uses a combination of physical movement and needling. The needles are momentarily painful but the gain is worth the pain. He has loosened muscles that I had believed were forever frozen. My right shoulder and hip have much improved range of motion and my posture is more erect.

Advice & Tips
On the days of my massage therapy I am able to redirect my focus on things other than my pain and discomfort. I feel relaxed for at least a whole day if not more and am able to even accomplish small chores around the house with little discomfort.
