Work Place Massage

It is well known that long periods doing the same thing or in the same position causes aches and pains by overusing particular areas of the body and causing fatigue, e.g. Long periods at a desk, driving etc... Some jobs are particularly physical causing direct strain on the body e.g. If they involve working in awkward positions, heavy lifting or carrying etc... This can lead to aches and pains developing and can eventually leads to more serious injury if not managed soon enough.

Consider the tortoise verses the hare - both going from A to B, the hare doing it quickly and energetically can be susceptible to injury due to excessive forces being used, however, the tortoise is also susceptible to injury more as a result of quantity rather than quality of his movement.
