I'll let you in on a full-body muscle relaxation trick. First, look in a mirror with no shirt on. You're looking for a roughly triangular pocket between the collar bone, the neck, and the muscle that runs from the neck to the top of the shoulder. The next part is easy for you: sit in a chair, lean back, and relax while your wife stands behind you, puts her thumbs on your upper back and digs her fingers into that pocket until it hurts a little but the pain is bearable. After holding that pinch for about a minute, she lets go and you feel an endorphine rush wash over your body. A few seconds of euphoria from the endorphines and your whole body should reflexively relax. Goes great with a full back or shoulder massage.

Seconding that. My view is that a chiropractor is someone delusional or devious enough to have gone to medical school yet can keep a straight face while telling me that my asthma is caused by bad posture.
