Article: While seated, cup your left hand over your left shoulder and your right over your right, just below the base of your neck. Exhale and allow your head to drop back. Gently squeeze your palms towards your fingers, and you'll feel your shoulder muscles gripped in between. Maintain this gentle grip on each muscle as you slide your hands up your neck on either side of your spine. This is a great massage to do while sitting at your desk. Repeat it as often as you like. A partner can also stand behind you and perform this quick massage. You can also massage one shoulder at a time using your hand on the opposite side of your body. Start by closing your eyes and breathing deeply and slowly. Then, use your fingertips to massage in small circles, starting above your shoulder blades and working up both sides to the top of your neck. Press firmly, but don't cause yourself substantial pain. Take a quick break from your computer screen to do this self-massage every hour or so or whenever you need it! You can do this massage as often as you like, for as long as you like. Back away from your desk or stand up. Interlace your fingers against the back of your head. Droop your head forward and let the weight of your dangling arms pull downward gently on your head and neck. You'll feel the muscles in your shoulders, upper back, and neck stretch slightly. Don't force your arms down let gravity do most of the work. Hold the stretch for 10-15 seconds, repeat it 3-5 times per session, and do as many sessions as you need to during the day. Stand with your back against a wall or lay down on the floor. Then, pin a tennis ball or racquetball between the wall or floor and your shoulder, just to the side of your spine. Very slowly roll the ball with your back until it hits the tight spot. Hold that position for a few seconds, and perhaps shimmy up and down and side to side a little to work the ball into your shoulder knot. When you feel some relief, switch the ball to the other side of your spine as needed. Don't roll the ball directly over your spine. You can repeat this maneuver anytime the knot becomes bothersome. Lie flat on your stomach, with your arms relaxed at your sides. Ask the other person to follow your triangular shoulder blade's top ridge from your shoulder to where it meets your spine. Just below this ridge, and beside your spine, they should be able to find a "sweet spot" that tends to hold a lot of tension and provide a lot of relief when massaged. When they find the spot, ask them to rub it firmly in a circular motion. Fibers from the infraspinatus muscle that sits under the shoulder blade connect at this spot, meaning you may feel relief throughout your entire shoulder area. You can request a repeat of this massage as often as you need it but be ready to return the favor! It's tough to massage your own shoulders thoroughly, and even an eager partner probably won't have the skills to provide a great shoulder massage. A trained and experienced massage therapist can work the muscles from your neck to your back and melt away the tension in your shoulders. Search for experienced and professionally-certified massage therapists through recognized organizations like the AMTA (in the U.S.), get referrals from friends or your doctor, and talk to any potential massage therapists beforehand to make sure you're comfortable with them. If your shoulder tension won't go away, causes substantial pain, or restricts your head, neck, or shoulder movement, seek out qualified medical help. Your doctor may recommend physical therapy, chiropractic care, and/or a pain management regimen that includes NSAIDs, analgesics, or corticosteroids. Chiropractic care techniques (and costs) can vary widely, so look for solid referrals and ask about a chiropractor's experience, treatment methods, and billing procedures before choosing one.

After you pop it open, check to make sure there are no remnants of food left inside. Give the container a quick preliminary rinse with hot water. Drain and shake out the excess water and place the container on the kitchen counter. If there's any dried or sticky residue inside the container, it may help to wipe it out with a paper towel before you begin cleaning. For best results, use pure distilled white vinegar. If most of the stains are concentrate around the bottom, you'll only need to add in an inch or two; if they reach up the sides, fill it to the top. Place the lid back on the container to keep the vinegar from spilling. Vinegar is strong enough to make an effective cleaner and disinfectant, but not so strong that it needs to be cut it with water. If you don't happen to have any vinegar handy, try using a little diluted rubbing alcohol or hand sanitizer. The alcohol in these products will produce an effect similar to the vinegar. As it soaks, the acidity of the vinegar will help break down any discoloration present while neutralizing persistent odors. It will also help clear away hard water deposits from previous washings. For heavier messes, you can leave the vinegar in the container for an hour or longer before cleaning it out by hand. Vinegar is naturally antimicrobial, which makes it useful for killing the bacteria that's had time to begin growing on old food. Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice can help brighten dull, discolored plastic and leave it smelling more pleasant. Once half an hour has elapsed, lift the lid and pour out the vinegar. Then, squirt a few drops of liquid dish detergent into the container and go over the inside using a kitchen sponge or stiff-bristled nylon dish brush. The rough surface of the scrubber should be enough to deal with any remaining stains. You may not be able to erase certain stains (like the infamous tomato sauce) entirely. Once these have set up in the plastic, it can be nearly impossible to get them out. Avoid scouring the container with anything more abrasive than a sponge. A device like steel wool or pumice stone may leave behind scratches in the plastic.
