[QUOTE="stonehands1, post: 1080485, member: 88929"] Growing up on a dairy farm I was shoveling poop, carrying 5 gallon buckets of milk and bucking 100lb hay bales as long as I can remember. Of course this made me a strong young buck and served me well. At age 20 I began my career in heavy civil construction. By the time I was 30 carpal tunnel and back pain was getting to be part of my daily life. I was in great physical shape and cycled 200 to 400 miles a week for cardio. When my hamstrings got so tight that I was getting tendon pain in my knees I asked a friend about massage. She referred me to a therapist she went to school with and after seeing him twice a week for a month I felt 10 years younger. I went for all the testing and could have had carpal tunnel surgery on both hands. I asked my therapist if he could do anything for my hands. He said no problem. After treatment for about a month symptoms went away and have had no problems since (12 years now). He said most pain is caused by scar tissue built up over the years and massage will break up the damaged tissue and allow the muscle to heal and strengthen. Of course not all massage therapists are equal so finding one that is more of a therapeutic therapist is important. I know it's not the manliest thing to get a massage but I have found it to be very helpful in keeping fit and balanced and has allowed me to maintain the lifestyle I want to live. Massage, Physical therapy, and chiropractic care should keep you hunting for years to come. Best of luck. [/QUOTE]
