This meshes with the preferred body parts question. Art modeling sometimes leaves me wrecked and these are the areas that need extra care.

Definitely the lower back and neck. The butt is always a bit knotted because the mat doesn’t get any attention with an LMT.

Cycling to and from work would explain my mostly lower body aches.

Neck often locks after a strenuous day. Massage of face neck and shoulders is great help.

Carrying bags while walking and traveling extensively on planes & trains is what brings me here to this website.  I'm thankful that those who have exchanged with me have been able to help.

I also have knots in my thighs as well as glutes. An abdominal clockwise massage aids digestion.

♦ Neck
Definitely neck, need to emotionally let go while  am being massaged. Breath and release.

For me the shoulders and upper back hold the most tension and cause the most discomfort.

I occasionally feel tension between my shoulders and upper and middle back.  I have been meditating for a number of years and this has helped me become more aware of the tension.

Y'all left quadriceps and hamstrings off this list. I definitely need a lot of work there. I also like abdominal work for my digestion, although I understand not everyone knows how to do it properly.

♦ Upper Back
I seem to carry all my stress in my shoulders and upper back. I really enjoy a man who can work out the knots there.
jfpants
♦ Shoulders
I feel the most tension in my shoulders, as a therapist, where I feel the tension in a client varies, depending on their issues/work/lifestyle.
