Best thing I can suggest is a heavy duty consumer grade kneading fingers massage doodad. One of my friends has a couple and they're wonderful. When I visit to cook for friends at her home I get to use the back massagers when taking a break. They're almost as good as the commercial grade kneading tables used by some chiropractors and massage therapists..
