My left arm and hand are tingling quite often especially if I use it to give a massage of someones neck shoulder etc. Even if I am only walking it will start to numb and tingle. I have two plates in my neck c4 5 and c6 7. I do notice a tensness on the my left side of my neck very noticable when drawing the chin in. What part of the fab5 do you think would help or what could I do with my good side to effect a release.

GeoZim,

I would recommend learning the Fab5 and treating yourself. That really is the best way to approach it.

i agree with maui...if you dont want to start with fab 5, you could always find some motion that is restricted (tight, pain, yucky for any reason) and try to mimic it on the other side a repetitions holding about 20ish seconds and then retest the original affected side motion to see if it helps...if it did-do it again (if it didnt-you may still want to try a few more reps on the gooder side) if that doesnt work, then i would suggest processing thru the fab 5 motions-make sure you dont fixate on upper body motions to relieve upper body symptoms...the lower body motions can be very effective in alleviating upper body issues
