Ask yourself:

 Do you wake up at night because of back pain?

 Is the tension in your back more predominant on one side of your body?

 Do some of your back muscles become very taut and tight as you reach the end of your range of motion?

 Has the level of tension in your back increased over time?

 Do you experience pain that shoots down one or both legs or arms?

 Do the tight areas of your muscles feel stringy, lumpy, or leathery?

 Does your pain increase while bending, sitting, walking, or standing too long in one position, or after performing one type of activity?

 Do you experience symptoms of numbness, tingling, hypersensitivity, shooting pain, burning sensations, aching, or a decrease in your strength?

If you answered YES to one or more of the above questions, you may have a neck or back pain syndrome that can be resolved with a combination of Active Release Techniques and specially selected exercise protocols.
