I am blaming "my bloody lovely Mac" for the rise of my neck and back problems and miss floating in a pool!
We curl up in bed, on sofas, benches and even on carpets with our devices, use them on the kitchen and living room tables, balance them on our knees or bring them on subways, to work on the go.
It seems that my income can only be secured, using those digital "monsters" on a daily base. I have to find a solution to prevent more pain attacks. I am one of those who is not working in a posture-friendly environment for many years, mostly traveling or living in different homes.
“These devices are incredibly useful but must be used sensibly,” says Tim Hutchful, from the British Chiropractic Association. “Laptops are only designed to be used for short periods but many people spend hours at a time on their laptop and they are now being used in the home as substitutes for desk computers.” - Source Working from Home: Back Health Risk
What to do? Yoga, pilates, steam-rooms, daily walks, stretches, gym....pffffff!!!
Recently, I was told by doctors, if I am not more careful, I will end up with massive health issues. We are not getting younger! It's better to be aware, to prevent pain early enough.
I believe in "The Healing Power" of massages!!!
This was my miracle man, back in Bali in my villa.
My airbnb villa was a healing paradise for many of my guests and those regular sessions kept me balanced.
The practice of using touch as a healing method derives from customs and techniques rooted in ancient history. Civilizations in the East and West found that natural healing and massage could heal injuries, relieve pain, and prevent and cure illnesses. What’s more, it helped reduce stress and produce deep relaxation. - Source

Massage therapy began as a sacred system of natural healing. However, cultural shifts rendered it a disreputable form of indulgence for extensive periods of history. Enduring these turns, massage has experienced resurgence in modern times. - Source
It was more than time to finally look for a proper massage again, the ones I used to have back in Bali every 2nd day in various different spots, mostly close to the ocean air.
Aroma Spa in Sanur Beach was my favourite!

Foot Reflexology!
Outdoor full body treatments for max 20 Euro per hour
A jump in pool to cool off, after your massage is heaven!
Living in SE-Asia was perfect for me!
I could manage spine and neck damages, I carry with me, since I had a very severe car accident in 1976. I was lucky to survive, while my friend died next to me.
I need massages regulary but in Europe those sessions are costly and way too expansive. I paid 15 Euro more/less per hour in Bali. That's a huge difference to the price of 50 and even more here in Vienna but I have no other choice and pay for.
So, a couple of days ago, I went online, looking for a good place to get a massage, to loosen up my tight muscles around shoulders and right arm, causing heavy nerve pain.
I found the perfect Traditional Thai Massage Spot around the corner where I live, to please my tired and run down body.
With the sound of chimes, the smell of incense and Buddhas around, I felt like I am back "Home".
I hope that I will get back on track soon .......

You are more than welcome to join our #steemit-austria discord channel. You find invite link in my profile description.
PS :
I just for fun because this article made me laugh:
I found this kind of silly article : "Confessions of a Thai Massage Addict"
It's so true. Posture and the way we are constantly on these infernal but necessary devices can give us all a pain in the neck, back and everywhere else not to mention the eye strain?
I'm happy that you found a nice Thai massage place near you. At least you can unbundle some of the knots.
Good to see you looking after yourself. I know things are not ideal but this time too will pass.

Hiii Lovely @Mammasitta, due to the current scenario of market overhaul same condition with everyone, hanging with devices and about every minute check the status and rates.
I am also too much touchy with Steemit these days and try to be online, I added that even in "Bathroom" I used my smartphone.. Hahahah.

This Man called Pak Latief was truly a miracle man because he fixed me up that I could handle my work for many years on computers with his help. Once, I couldn’t walk after a fall. It took him 6 months and I was back in shape again. He was better than any doctor could be. I wish for you that you can travel soon.

It’s a mix of many styles but his master was Japanese and he mixed it with Javanese traditional. Sometimes it felt like Thai because he moved my whole body, like “yoga”. Hard to describe but he was a “HEALER” and knew exactly what was needed. It was never exactly the same. Every person I saw walking away after his 1-1 1/2 hours treatment was speechless. He was in tune with everybody in different ways.

Die Massage macht wunder :)Ich habe erfahrung mit traditionelles japanisches Massage. Jedes Termin war zwischen 1 - 2 Stunden. Danach habe ich mich wie neugeboren gefühlt. Die Massage war trocken und sehr flächig !
Ich hatte letztes Jahr starke problemen mit meine Beine. Eine Woche in salzige ocean Wasser hat mir sehr geholfen. Ich habe jeden Tag gefüllt wie die Spanung aus meine Knochen und Muskel verschwindet! Danach gang ich zu japanische massage und seit December habe ich keine schmerzen mehr! :) Ich bn sehr glücklich!

Lustig, ich hab mir auch nach längerer Pause morgen einen Massagetermin ausgemacht. Aber du hast recht, leider sehr teuer und regelmäßig kann ich mir das nicht leisten.
Ich verbringe leider auch zu viel Zeit am Computer, aber genauso wie du, sehe ich wenig Möglichkeiten das nachhaltig zu ändern.
Wusste nicht, dass du einen Autounfall hattest. Glück im Unglück! Auch wenn du Massagen brauchst - gut, dass es dich nicht ärger erwischt hat.
Lg,
