Hi Peter B,

That's great news, and some of your suggestions won't hurt most of us to try. Did you try any PT exercises to improve posture? I know some folks with histories of heavy computer use with similar symptoms (self included) for whom exercises have worked wonders - particularly some of the chin tucks (can't find the name of the particular one I'm thinking of....)

I'm not familiar with the term "remedial" massage (though I get its meaning from context). Myofascial trigger point therapy (or massage - though it can be quite painful) achieves similar results. My wife & I have gotten some great pain relief from it, and the therapist taught us how to do it ourselves.

I think you mean you were becomming dependent - not addicted.
