Hi Guys... Tall Paul here... I've been a massage therapist since 1991 and the most common thing people do when they come to see me is point to the area that is hurting. That is the LAST place I work on!!! Remember the old song, "The leg bone is connected to the thigh bone"? All of our muscles are interconnected, especially through the nervous system. So, rather than touching the neck, I would gently work on the hands, forearms, upper arms, especially the deltoids (google it). I assume he is laying on his back so you can't get to his buttocks and lower back? If you can work on his back, there's a muscle that goes from neck all the way down to the lower back called the sacrospinalis. By starting to massage the buttocks (the largest muscle in the body) and the base of the sacrospinalis then move on up towards mid and upper back, you can really bring a lot of relief. Also, work on his feet, calves, and thighs. By bringing calming, soothing pleasure to the extremities, the back and neck will loosen up.
I am also a "Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist" and know that pain can be completely managed through Paul's AMAZING Mind! The more intelligent you are, the easier hypnosis works for you because you know the power of the brain. This group of Hypnotherapists has an EXCELLENT collection of recordings that you can download. Here's a link specifically to

Tall Paul has an inch on our guy, but he sounds so nice. I haven't seen him. He may be "bean pole tall" whereas our Paul is "grisly bear tall" and probably meaner.
If it goes to the floor, my money is on Mr. Wheaton.
