If you have a disability it often can mean suffering with muscular pain. This is
worsening as we get older . Massage and other physical therapies, yoga and Pilates can often help and may be used in addition to, or instead of pain killers.
If massage therapy is to expansive an option or you have difficulty
getting out and about I have found these simple inexpensive self massage tools
helpful to relieve muscle pain and restore movement function. There are many
example of how to use them on Youtube channels so have a look around.
Be careful, used incorrectly or for too long at anyone
session they can cause harm. Get some professional advice n how to use them at
home from a sport therapist or physiotherapist.
