Hi, my name is Kimberly Mann, on behalf of expertvillage.com. In this segment, we are going to talk about common tension that gathers. And if you would like to reach me, you can reach me at 818-720-1342 if you have any questions. Everyday normal common problems are the knots that we get into our bodies, and into the muscle, that is caused by stress and just not drinking enough water, especially that. So what you want to do is mostly between here and here. We have the normal lactic acid built up, and that is those nasty little knots that like to rent-free in the body, and just cause us a lot of problems and tension. So once you start to loosen that up…and therapists also, make sure that you pay attention to how you stand as well, because when you are trying to help them feel better, we forget how to pay attention to our own body. So when you focus in these areas and the knot is really, really tight, really take your time. I have noticed that in my profession, if the person wants deep tissue, you really want to start out slowly and work long strokes, because the body will start to feel that nurture and TLC that we want every time. So if you start out real slow, you will accomplish and the person will feel much, much better.
