Neck Stiffness After A Long Day” Ever have a day where you’re hunched over a computer for hours and your neck just feels locked in place? I had a rough one yesterday. I tried a few stretches I found online, but they didn’t seem to do much. Any tips on how to loosen up a stiff neck? I’m thinking maybe a warm compress or a gentle massage.

Exploring Alternative Therapies for MPS Hey all, I’ve been diagnosed with Myofascial Pain Syndrome, and I’m exploring alternative therapies to help manage my symptoms. I’ve read about using acupuncture and cupping therapy as potential treatments. Has anyone tried these methods? Did they help reduce your pain or trigger points? I’m also interested in any other non-traditional therapies that have worked for others, such as meditation or biofeedback. I’d love to hear your experiences with these treatments and whether you found them beneficial. Looking forward to hearing from you!

My Journey with Myofascial Pain Syndrome Hello community, I’ve been struggling with Myofascial Pain Syndrome for a few years, and it’s been a challenging journey. The pain and stiffness are particularly bad in my lower back and thighs. I’ve tried various treatments, including dry needling, which provided some relief, but it’s not a long-term solution for me. Recently, I started using a combination of stretching exercises and foam rolling daily, which has helped reduce the frequency of flare-ups. I’ve also been working on my posture and making ergonomic changes at my workplace to avoid straining my muscles.  Does anyone else have experience with these treatments or other suggestions for managing MPS? I’m curious to know what has worked for others in our community.
