Massage Today

I have just come from participating in Wellness week at James Madison High school in Vienna VA.  I volunteered to give the students brief chair massages during their lunch minutes.  What a eye opener to the health concerns of the future.  Everyone of the students who I massaged had lower back pain and shoulder tension.  The QL and erector muscles were as tight as a Scottish banker (since I am of that area I can say this) and the traps were well, ensnared in tension.  What are we doing to these kids and how can we stop the train wreck that will be their backs in 15-20 years.  I just hope we can develop a fashion back pack that is ergonomically enhanced or better yet, cyber downloads for course material on a add needed basis.
