We all hear stories of people going through hell and blaming the modern lifestyle. Mostly this is pinned on computers. Most jobs today are little more than staring at a computer screen whole day long for hours and all the while sitting on your butt. The consequences are muscle fatigue, knots and unrelenting pain.
But the modern world has solutions too. Thanks to the internet for that. The medical profession has failed miserably in saving us from this with all it's pain killers. Not to blame the field but doctors today are hardly interested in solving your pain but that's for another post.
For now keep these things in mind.
Yes. They're expensive. But avoiding them will cost you more. It's the "saving money on footwear by cutting of you legs" all over again. Constant sitting, typing, whatsapping is creating knots in your muscles especially in the back, shoulder and neck areas and only the trained fingers of a skill masseuse can untie them out. Result? Suppleness, better blood flow, flexibility, less pain, good sleep and reduces the chances of RSI and most important saves you from visiting those who know lease about these pains—orthopedic doctors aka bone specialists, trust them to prescribe medicines worth 2000 bucks on every visit with zero results. Don't trust me then read this guy's story.
Which massage you ask? Look for deep tissue massage.
This is simple. You lose track of time when stalking the chick from your new acquaintance's friend list who lives in Dubai, but your muscles are just sitting there motion less and bearing all that strain of you typing, chatting, clicking and so on. They like a break as much as anyone else and Work Rave pop's up at intervals to remind you to give it to them. Like I said, simple!
Again. Start by reading the above guy's story and research. Pretty impressive. Turns out all those drops, "cooling glasses", normal glasses and dry eyes your ophthalmologist tells you about is wrong. It's your eye muscles getting all tight and strained like your back, neck, shoulder muscles. There are knots in there too, loose them up with the exercises.
This deserves another post of it's own for so many are the benefits. Probably the best invention after antibiotics, weight lifting will make your life a lot lot better. It gives you a hormonal boost, increases testosterone, builds muscle strength, bone strength and so much more. And no you don't need to spend 2 hours in the gym, just up to 45 mins, try it for a month and you will beg for it to be extended to 2 hours.
And ladies, don't be fooled by the "it's not for women" or that you'll develop masculine bodies because of it (only if it was easy!). Of course your training program will differ but weight lifting is most definitely for everybody.
