What type of massage is best for neck pain?
What type of massage is best for neck pain? Deep tissue massage suits most long standing neck pain, because it works slowly into the base of the skull, the shoulders and the upper back that hold the neck tight.
Deep tissue massage for neck pain
The best type of massage for neck pain that has been there a while is usually deep tissue. Slow, steady pressure lets the small muscles at the base of the skull and the deeper shoulder muscles soften without rushing.
Why the shoulders and upper back matter
Neck pain rarely starts in the neck alone. Rounded shoulders, a tight chest and a stiff upper back pull the head forward, and the neck works harder all day to hold it up.
- The base of the skull
- The top of the shoulders
- The chest muscles
- The upper back and shoulder blades
When a lighter massage suits
A lighter, relaxing massage suits neck tension that comes from stress and a long week. Many people choose a mix: gentle work around the neck and firmer work through the shoulders and upper back.
The neck, jaw and head
The neck is closely linked to the jaw and the head. Clients who clench their jaw or get tension headaches often find their neck feels freer once the jaw and the base of the skull are released too.
Reviews
What type of massage is best for neck pain reviews
I had physio, treatments, sports massage, and scans from professional sports clubs. Once I met James, it was literally the first session, there was such a release. As I moved, I could feel zero pulling, like the whole area just opened up.
He explained the problem and his methods with great care and clarity. The first appointment left me feeling far more mobile.
