Chronic muscle tightness

[Beau]

Hi to all. 

I was wondering if anybody suffers from chronic muscle tightness? 

I have had an extremely stiff neck for a number of years and have been doing various stretch exercises, chiropractic treatment, acupuncture and deep tissue massage.. At times these treatments help in the short term but then the muscles tighten again... 

I have this past year been using "how to overcome neck and back pain" and "stretching and flexibility" which have helped me considerably.. However I can't seem to get rid of this muscle tightness in my neck and shoulder.. 

I was wanting to know if other people suffer this as well? 

I recently had a Tai massage which really helped and I felt great for two days and then the tightness came back again.. 

I do the stretches which give relief but the symptoms keep coming back.. 

Just wanted to know how other people are managing.. 

Many thanks 

Andrew

Joke, right? This describes most people you know.

The secret (you will find many threads here) us to develop a relaxation practise. Search for this, and implement today. Until the direct contact with what being deeply relaxed is felt deeply, all else is bandaids. Relaxation practises supercharge stretching exercise practise; together, they are transforming.

If you have read Overcome neck & back pain, you will know that I regard daily relaxation practise as one of the fundamentals.
