this makes my shoulders and the back feel good. it just seems to get things all lined up and works the kinks out. did some of them yesterday and they have become a regular part of of exercise "routine".

I should so try this - I get all kinked up in the back from hunching over a desk all day. When I run the pain sorts of ebbs out and it's hard to keep going sometimes. I'll try this before I go running next time.

Thanks
