how can i massage my own back/shoulder?

[Dejah Botelho]

Work has been pretty rough on my back lately, specifically behind my right shoulder. My boyfriend is damn useless when it comes to this type of stuff. I don't have anyone else to ask either. It would be kind of awkward asking a co-worker. There must be a way I can massage back there without reaching around with my left arm because now my left arm is starting to cramp up. The knots are pretty bad. Any suggestions help. ( I'm not getting a new boyfriend tho lol)

Go to a masseuse! Or hire an escort.

For knots and pains and to just make your back feel good you have to free up your back muscles and that will do all of those things for you. Here's how to free them up for your relief:
Back:
(do from a sitting position)
Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly pull down on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
For best results relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
