Stress-Relief Techniques


Practice simple stretches.
Stretching and Self-Massage
Practice simple stretches, such as a neck stretch, by simply rolling your head in a half circle in one direction and then in the other. Stretch your shoulders by raising them to your ears and then releasing them.

Still feeling tense? You don't need to rely on someone else to get the benefits of a massage. When in the shower or seated comfortably, massage one side of your body with the opposite hand and then massage the other.
