ADHD Pro Tip: Your muscles may be way more tense than you realize.

For years I've had upper back and neck problems for which I've seen multiple doctors and they've always taken a few X-Rays and told me that everything looks fine.

A few weeks ago I was watching a physical therapist on youtube talking about issues similar to what I have and showed a few stretches and recommended a massage wand for working out tight muscles that could be causing the problem.

I decided to purchase a percussion massager and give it a try. Within the first few minutes I'd worked out a major knot in my shoulder that was causing further tension in my neck, which I then proceeded to work out.

As I got each muscle loosened I realized how tight the ones next to it are.

Over about an hour period I discovered that pretty much my entire back and neck were so tense and tight all of the time that I had no idea it was even happening.

I feel like I'm two inches taller and so much pain has been alleviated.

To be clear, I'm not a doctor and this is not medical advice, but I can't imagine I'm the only person with ADHD who has major issues with muscle tension.
