thanks for all these great suggestions! unfortunately, i can't swim so that's out of the question... but i do think a huge reason behind my neck and shoulder woes is that i've just started using a smartphone... i've never had such pains before, and my job only partally requires me to sit at a desk so i guess being glued to the phone has to be it...doesnt help that my cats insist to sleep on my upper arms all night either haha...
either way, i will try and cut down my use of the smartphone and see if it actually helps or not... in the meantime, i really can use a massage... will look into these places. my china visa just expired so i'll wait for the shenzhen option till i get one, but until then, hk places will have to do.
thanks again!
