An achy neck and shoulder is a common sore spot for most people. Whether it is stress, work related, or an injury of some sort, necks take a lot of abuse. Why is it that neck pain is so common? Well, look at today’s posture in most work places. A lot of work, in the present day, is done at a desk or in front of a computer. Those shoulders are slumped inward, your head is forward and rarely is your spine straight. It’s no wonder your neck is sore! It also has an average of eight to twelve pounds to carry around all day until your head hits the pillow at night.
Luckily massage is a good option to diminish neck and shoulder pain; a combination of back and head, neck, shoulder massage can significantly reduce tension held in these areas. It can also reduce headaches caused by posture related issues, help with muscle spasms and those general tender spots in your neck and shoulders.
