4Massage
Massaging the pinched area can be effective in relieving pressure and pain. You can simply do it by using your hand to apply pressure gently to the affected area. If necessary, look for a massage therapist to relax your muscles. Keep in mind that you only need gentle pressure. It is not advisable to try deep tissue massages as it may put more pressure and worsen the symptoms. [6]
Yoga
Some yoga poses may target the area of the pain and help ease the pressure or tension. Keep in mind that this method does not actually eliminate the pain, but only makes it better. The key is to stretch gently to avoid worsening the symptoms. Stop immediately if you feel any discomfort or pain. Some effective poses to try include knees-to-chest pose, downward dog pose, or sphinx pose. If necessary, look for guidance from an experienced instructor. [7]
