I’ve taken posture for granted. I appeared to stand straight, but now I know that my posture was unbalanced, lacked appropriate muscle support, was degrading over time, and resulted in sore and tight muscles that could lead to chronic pain. This is a long, potentially boring retrospective about my DIY soft tissue self-care journey. I hope that others may benefit.

Sometimes I practice guitar. Recently, I tried to play a riff and it hurt my finger so bad I could feel my forehead muscle frown and the little wrinkle between my brows deepen. I relaxed my forehead (will use Sanford Bennett’s wrinkle rubout later) and told my finger not to worry, it will only hurt a little before it gets stronger. Just like self-care.
