Massage Therapy for Lower Back Pain

"Oh, my back still hurts," Jim groaned as he sat on the bed and bent over to pick up his shoe.

"Why don't you try a massage?" His wife asked. "My friend Carol swears massage is the only thing that can help her back pain."

The next day, I flew to Johannesburg, South Africa. Next was Johannesburg to Dubai, then Dubai to New York. The final flight was to my home in Charleston, SC. With all of the time zones, I have no real idea of how many hours I was actually in transit.

Since being home, I have been in self-quarantine. I only leave the house to go on a daily walk/run for 5 miles (10km). I figure if I must be on lock…
