Today, even with advancements in modern medicine, neck, shoulder and back pain are still a common occurrence.  This is  especially true for people whose work involves physical activity and who have to expend large amounts of physical energy in their day-to-day lives.

In spite of the advancements in modern technology, many people still have to endure long hours of physical work resulting in bodily pain.  Physical strain, resulting in physical pain, is not only experienced by those involved in heavy manual activity, but also by those who sit for long periods of time at a desk, and this modern form of strain can also lead to the same experience of pain in the shoulders, back and neck.

In addition to what has been mentioned above, people’s lifestyle is part of the cause of these physical ailments i.e. their sleep routine, the use of an inappropriate sized pillow, lack of, or excessive, physical activity, incorrect posture, stooping while reading messages and texting their smart phone for extended periods of time, slouching in front of their computer, etc. All these inappropriate postures and physical activities can negatively effect our physical wellbeing.

Massage is a solution to solve these problems.  Even though massage services can be found all over the world, we need to have the right masseur who is specialised in the area of stress reduction, in the same way as we need to see a qualified traditional Thai Doctor in order to avoid potential misdiagnosis or injury. While massage does help relieve muscular pain, we do still need herbal products to safeguard normal blood circulation and to help release muscular tension.

If this is not done correctly by well trained professional people, we might suffer the consequences as a result of incorrect diagnosis and the subsequent inappropriate remedial measures taken.  The use of heat from the Herbal Ball after massage improves blood circulation.  Ginger and Amomum Biflorum Jack in the Herbal Ball are especially beneficial.  They are absorbed into muscles through the skin, resulting in relaxation of the muscles and reduction in pain.

They also ease muscular inflammation.  The Lemon Grass and Lemon Balm aroma both help with relieving muscular tension and fatigue.
