Give Shoulder Rubs

[Recycled from 30 August 2004, because shoulder rubs are always in order]

It's not difficult, doesn't require so much strength that it will wear out your hands, and the people around you will be in a better mood, so it's to your advantage from a purely selfish perspective.

Knead up the shoulder muscles for awhile, moving along up the neck and out onto the deltoid muscles of the upper arm a bit.

Gradually, settle the fingers of one hand on one shoulder, so the tips are pressing into the well of the shoulder, or behind the well in the trapezius muscle. With your other hand, press lightly at the bottom of the deltoid muscle and hold for a minute or so. Then move on to the outside corner of the elbow, and finally tot he place where the forearm bones meet the wrist, on the back of the wrist. These pressure points relate to stress, and really ought to be worked on just about every American adult.

Give shoulder rubs. Ask for them. Learn and study.
