Here’s how he suggests doing it. First, heat some water and add a little salt. Soak a towel in this warm, salty water and wring it out so it’s damp but not dripping. Then lie down either face down or on your back whichever feels comfortable. And then place the towel on the painful area of your back. Leave it for a few minutes and feel the tension melt away.
