Elements Massage: Do These Exercises to Reduce Neck and Shoulder Tension

Working at a desk or behind a steering will can wreak havoc on a worker's neck and shoulders, according to David Thomas of Elements Therapeutic Massage in South Carlsbad.

"We tend to forget that our arms weight about eight to ten pounds," he said. "It's an exertion to keep them in front of you all day long." 

Thomas recommends people take a break about two times an hour to do some of the exercises in the video or even to walk around. 

Massage can undo stress in various muscles that cause neck and shoulder tension, he said.
