Massage therapy for Chronic Neck and Shoulder pain

Why you in pain?

The weight of an "average" head is 10 pounds. Now, imagine 10 lb "handing off " your neck whilst you are are sitting or standing, at home or at work and looking down at a screen: laptop, phone, ipad or TV. This puts an unnatural strain on the muscles of your neck and shoulders which can lead to stiffness and poor posture.

Combining this with stress and heavy lifting or exercise can leave you in constant pain that goes on to cause other problems:

• headaches
• jaw pain
• insomnia
• lower back problems
• Muscle tightness and spasms.
• lack of mobility in the neck

Why you need neck and shoulders massage?

Because neck and shoulder massage will:

• eliminate the tension around the neck
• release the spasms from the shoulder muscles
• help with pinched nerve pain relief
• improve blood circulation to the head/brain
• encourage relaxation

Loosening up neck muscles also opens up a path for better blood flow delivering more oxygen to the brain reducing tension headaches and migraines. By using variable shoulder massage techniques, it is possible to release trigger points and gradually in 3-5 sessions get rid of chronic pain.
