1. Massage the muscle groups on both sides of the neck. Sit upright and massage the muscles on both sides of the neck with your thumbs 3 to 5 times to relax the muscles. Focus on massaging the painful points, then press and rub the Fengchi acupoint for 1 minute until the soreness and swelling are gone. 2. Hold and rub the trapezius muscles on the shoulders. Sit upright, and the masseur hold and rub the trapezius muscles on both sides of the shoulders, relaxing the muscles extensively from the inside to the outside. Repeat 3 to 5 times. Use the thumbs to press and rub the attachment of the upper inner corner of the shoulder blade on both sides for half a minute, and press and rub the Jianjing acupoints for half a minute, until you feel soreness and swelling. 3. Rub the back muscles. Sit upright and have the masseur use his palms to rub the back muscles from top to bottom 3 to 5 times to relax the muscles. Then use the thumbs to rub the area between the thoracic spinous process and the inner edge of the scapula from top to bottom, focusing on the painful points and the cords. Repeat the massage 3 to 5 times.

4. Rub the bilateral infraspinatus muscles with the palms. Sit upright, and the masseur rubs the bilateral infraspinatus muscles with the palms for half a minute. Then use the thumbs to press and rub the Tianzong point and the painful point in the infraspinatus for half a minute each. The technique should not be too heavy, and it is appropriate to feel sore and swollen. 5. Pat the shoulders and back. Sit upright, and the massager pats the shoulders and back with the palms of his hands with gentle force to relieve fatigue. Recommendation: Strengthen the neck and shoulder muscle exercises in daily life, and do head flexion, extension, left and right lateral flexion and upper limb exercises after work. This can relieve fatigue, develop muscles, enhance toughness, and help stabilize the short spine. Get rid of the bad habit of sleeping with a high pillow. A high pillow will cause the head to flex forward, increasing the stress on the lower cervical spine and possibly accelerating cervical degeneration.
