It's important to ask, why are your neck and shoulders getting stiff? Do you stretch or go for walks regularly? I find that walking around the block once in the morning and once in the evening is enough to keep my neck loose all day long, as long as I walk regularly.

Well, I got stabbed right between my shoulder blades in 86 with a butcher knife, and it went down at a 45 degree angle almost to my heart;a lot of nerves and stuff were cut, so I kind of get stiff in the neck and shoulders from that.
I do lots of stretching and am starting to do "wall pushups", along with crunches and situps. I've noticed some lessening of the pain between the shoulderblades, but nothing that makes my shoulders "droop" in relief the way a massage will.
