This morn­ing I had a mas­sage.  Yeay!  I was a lit­tle sore still in my side from Tuesday's yoga, but that is okay and was for­got­ten pretty quickly.  We focused entirely on my back this time.  With peo­ple with nor­mal tight­ness in their back, you can have them turn their arm in a cer­tain way so that the shoul­der blade sticks out, then you can put a fin­ger or two under it.  With me, that sort of works on the lower half of my right shoul­der blade, but not at all on the left.  In addi­tion, some­thing that I had not noticed before, was that when I lay flat on my back on a hard sur­face, the right shoul­der does not sit flat.  It not only sticks out a bit, but is pretty far off the floor/table/surface.  All of this is typ­ing and stress stored up in the pec­torals (pulling the shoul­der for­ward) and back-muscle-group-whose-name-I-cannot-remember (wound up tight around the shoul­der blades.)

Nap time.
