We have pain in the left shoulder or right it doesn't matter which. Initially, we may just rub the shoulder if we can or get someone to do it for us, great if we can. If it's deeper then they may need to go deeper with either finger pressure or forearm or even an elbow. One does need to take care with this. If there is no one about then this is where the tennis ball comes in.
Find a wall that you can lean your back against, place the tennis ball at the area where you feel the pain. Put a little bit of weight into the tennis ball and gently massage the area. When you are used to this you can go a little bit further by bending your knees and rolling the tennis ball up and down the wall and varying the weight into the wall as you feel fit.
Now as you are in an office you may get strange looks. You may also get some comments from your manager etc; if they are switched on to your health they will understand and may even suggest that you go to a room for privacy, great if that is the case. More often than not it isn't.
Companies who are really switched on engage masseurs and body workers to go into offices to give remedial work to the workers.
A simple suggestion for those with back pain. Place two tennis balls into a sock and tie the end off. If you can, lay on the floor and place the tennis balls which are in the sock into your lower back just above the hips with your knees bent. Now it may seem strange to do this - private or otherwise, if you haven't done this before as your body doesn't know what to expect so go gentle.
Now you can stay there and gently massage your lower back by rolling the tennis balls up and down your spine by just an inch or so. Be aware that your clothes will ride up and get caught in the tennis balls. Ideally this is done with bare skin so it is not appropriate to do on the office floor! However, if you can find a locked room, and do this that will be great as you will be able to relax into it.
By rolling your body up and down over the balls you will be massaging the muscles around the spine and also helping to re-align the spine from poor posture etc. You can also do this with just a single tennis ball into man area of the shoulder or lower back.
