*Hint: Describe the neck and shoulder pain condition (location, pain characteristics, causes) and your rationale in choosing the methods*]]> 2022-02-27 14:12:34 UTC https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068201859 glamqn20001 https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068698440 1) Maybe due to medical condition eg  diabetic or allergy (G6PD) one might not be able to do cupping or topical herbal medication.
2) On my own, I will do acupressure and stretching to relief immediate pain or discomfort as the steps are simple to follow.]]> 2022-02-28 02:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068698440 jonathanbrucecheng https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068826856 1) One limitation I could think of is cupping treatment, it is impossible to do yourself. Another limitation is that everyone may have different health conditions, it is still good to find a professional TCM for treatment than try it ourselves]]> 2022-02-28 04:28:24 UTC https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068826856 jonathanbrucecheng https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068828889 2) I agree with Yani to DIY acupressure and stretching to relief immediate discomfort since they are hassle free and straightforward methods.]]> 2022-02-28 04:30:34 UTC https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2068828889 sunitha26 https://padlet.com/diytcmsg/be7cyizczpr170qb/wish/2069009965 1) The limitations could be not having the right knowledge or expertise. Like for an example for Moxibustion which is a form of heat therapy, not been able to get the right dried plants materials. Similarly, I've read that for cupping it can cause bruising which may lead to skin infection. Also, you may need someone to help to do it for you. 
2) For myself, to relieve myself from neck pains (which i get often), I can try stretching and acupressure as they can be followed easily, with not much things to prepare.
