You have muscular tensions in
the back of the neck, middle of
the back or lower back region
P ains in the back area or the back of the
neck are due to a stiffness ture of the
muscles, with accumulation of toxins. The
pain can then become continuous or
appear after only a few minutes spent
working in an unfavourable position (for
example, working in front of a computer
screen). These chronic pains can be
treated effectively with the
Chronic pain
programme which, in addition to
combating pain, reactivates the circulation
and relaxes the stiff muscles.
Duration of the cycle: 4 weeks, twice daily, with a
10 minute break between the 2 sessions
