How to help a stiff neck from wood working

If you are a woman and too young to remember going into a lumber yard to get supplies where the men running the shop made you feel inferior, thank goodness. It was an uncomfortable feeling. They would look at you like you didn't belong and were wasting their time. But they were happy to take your cash.

Then along came Home Depot. They are happy to help women with projects and don't make us feel inferior.

Microwave Neck Warmers for stiff necks

They even offer workshops for women.

If you want to organize a workshop, check out Home Storage Inc. in Milwaukie, Oregon. They will treat you respectfully and offer the help if you need it.

If your back is sore from working on a project in your shop -- male or female -- try a Maine Warmer Extra Large Back Warmer to take away the stiffness. Heat helps increase circulation and flexibility and is one of the oldest home remedies in the world. Maine Warmers makes a variety of microwave heating pads that can be frozen and used as gentle ice packs to reduce swelling and pain.
