relief

[Patrick Greene]

I had been noticing that my shoulders and neck were starting to cramp up
when I was tuning two or more a day.  I have joined a work out facility
where I have gotten with a personal trainer and am starting to see some
results.  A buddy was laughing at me and said that I would be the first
piano tuner he had met who could bench press 180#.  But I am feeling really
good and think this will help in the long run.
