We both (DW, self) laughed, because she's been doing that almost every morning for some time now, and it does help a lot. My concern is that between our aging and her own health issues, how much longer will this be possible? Daily/frequent visits with a therapist, or continuous use of muscle relaxers aren't really practical.

I have severe muscle tension in my back and neck and my husband can't give me a massage because he gets pain in his hands. Awhile ago I ended up ordering a
hitachi back massager which isn't as good as a professional massage but a whole lot cheaper in the long run.
