[...] rapid twists, designed to tear out toxins, for some reason, have almost eliminated all of my neck pain. I’m not completely pain free, but I hope this will improve, as more time with Ravi marches [...]

I found the link here at sk*rt and am happy I did. As a migraine sufferer whose pain frequently originates in the occipital lobe at the base of my skull, I also hold a lot of my tension from working long hours at the computer in my shoulders and neck. Your info here is priceless. Not only am I just starting my own personal yoga journey (so the video list will be a help) but knowing about the biofreeze is going to be an immense help as well. Thank you!

Hi, Susie- Cold is usually great for acute stuff and heat for more long-term chronic stuff but contrast can be wonderful in actually healing tissue- the trick is to be consistent! Use it twice a day, or 3x- whatever makes you feel good- for about 15-20 min./day. But when you do feel like some contrast therapy, start with heat and end with cold.
Hope this helps! And no more bruising- now your body has to heal from that, too!

Sometimes bruising can happen during a massage but it sounds to me like he went too hard on you. I am a massage therapist as well, and I believe you get more flies with honey than vinegar- if you get my drift. Be consistent with your massages and your treatments and I think you will find your pain relief lasts longer.
Also, try a rice sock, Susie. Get a long tube sock, fill it with rice about one-half to three-quarters full, knot the end or rubber band it, then pop it in the microwave for a few minutes. These work great because they hold the heat and they conform to your body very easily.
I do hope you feel better- it’s a drag alright…
Feel free to e-mail me if you need any more info… I’d be happy to help!

Am hoping you feel better soon. Will this mean you will need therapy? Or will this all be done throught meds? Hoping you are also able to last the days ahead- neck and back pains are such a pain!

It is crazy what can cause neck pain. Every Monday morning, I would return to work and my neck would be so stiff. I could barely turn my head. Funny…this would happen on Mondays OR whenever I spent time with my children during the week. Was I allergic to my kids!? Where they causing me severe stress!? Nope – finally dawned on me that the bag I use when I’m with the kids (it crosses across my front) was causing my neck pain as I subconciously favored one shoulder over another. Not my kids!!! Phew!
