He complained of pain in his back and shoulders, which wasn't a surprise. He was carrying extra weight and had gained even more since his last visit, on top of a complete lack of exercise.
Every extra kilo gained puts additional pressure on the body, on the spine, legs, knees and joints. Because of this, his back was aching, his shoulders hurt, and his legs were quite swollen.
Massage helps with relaxation, but extra weight is something everyone needs to manage themselves, through diet, hydration and exercise. These are, however, personal choices each person has to make.
Today, the focus was simply on relaxing. And relaxed he was, before heading back to work.
Excess weight and lack of movement put extra pressure on the spine, joints and circulation, which can explain back and shoulder pain as well as swelling in the legs. Small adjustments to diet and introducing regular movement, even gradually, can help relieve this pressure and improve overall well-being over time.
