How can I get a stress knot out of my shoulder on a daily basis without the expense of a professional massage?

Question:

Answers:
Posture, Posture, Posture! Are you sitting at a desk all day? Working at a computer all day? On the phone all day? Make sure your work environment is set up ergonomically. Make sure your computer monitor is at eye level, get a headset for your phone, make sure your chair has a lumber support, make sure your feet are flat on the floor or better yet get a wedge so they are at a slight incline, etc. Most tight, sore, knotty muscles come from poor posture or un-ergonomic working conditions rather than stress. See a chiropractor, he or she will be able to teach you how to correct your posture with simple exercises and will be able to give you specific ergonomic advice on your working conditions.
