What's a good way to deal with muscle tension?

[[JC...]]

I have muscle tension in neck and back today.  Any tips?

 

I am at work so can't take a bath or anything like that.

 

Thanks,

Curley

if it were me, I'd get up, take frequent breaks, walk around, roll my shoulders neck gently to stretch them, pay attention to my posture and correct it if I see myself doing anything bad. I'd also try NOT to rub or overly massage the area, my experience with trigger points is that any pushing on the area that isn't proper trigger point therapy, makes things worse.

I smelled like Ben Gay for quite a while, and still do once and a while. But I never had to leave the house.
