How to massage the neck or back safely when needed? please can u give instructions or a video link ?can we harm ourself by massaging in bad ways ?

Some Caution: The neck houses a lot of important structures is a short, relatively compact area which should not be trifled with. Before arbitrary massage you would benefit from knowing some of the important anatomy. There are many good anatomic guides but this link seems to give straight forward information. http://saveyourself.ca/articles/spot-04-scalenes.php.
