Problem: Straining over a keyboard, carting around a toddler on your hip, toting your life around in a way-too-heavy workbag—these things are starting to be a real pain in your neck.

Solution: Get relief using reflexology without even leaving your desk. This holistic healing method can be used at any age, any place and any time, says Pauline Wills, author of Easy Reflexology ($12). To rid you body of that neck pain try gently rotating your big toe (the reflex to the neck is found at its base.) And if all that yelling at the kids’ soccer game has left you hoarse at the morning meeting, use your pointer finger and thumb to massage the skin between your big toe and second toe (this area is the reflex to your vocal chords).
