Had neck pain for being an idiot all my life, for the last 27 years, Chiropractor every month at least & still hurt at times it would damn near (did) bring tears to your eyes, not crying but tears. Went to a lady masseuse about a year ago that did that deep whatever for about 5 visits & cured! Still have a bit of a problem but nothing like I had. They really work.
But I couldn't go to her for a "Feel good" massage, I would have the "Al Gore" syndrome.
