hello Mighty slug,

I use one of those inflatable exercise balls to lay over 26 inch size - I also have a Styrofoam cylinder 6" diameter and 30" length approx. {a rolled up towel or 2 will work also}

nearly anything that is comfortable to lean on and over will work.

small firm balls will work for triggerpoint therapy. more info in our sticky -useful sites - above the posting list.

lay with that the length of your spine and let the shoulders drop down and also the chest will release and stretch.

do small movements with arms out at various angles for gentle stretches there too.

If pain is high start flat on floor with the small arm positions and movements.

diaphragmatic breathing is very good to use at this time also.
