Do you often find yourself experiencing tension and discomfort in your neck and shoulders? You're not alone. With many of us spending extended periods of time sitting at a desk or staring at a phone or computer screen, it's no wonder that neck and shoulder pain is becoming increasingly common. But don't worry – there's relief in sight.
Massage therapy can help target specific pressure points in the neck and shoulders to release tension and ease pain. Here are some of the key pressure points and how massage can benefit them:
Base of the Skull: If you frequently suffer from tension headaches, applying pressure and massage techniques to the occipital ridge (the base of the skull) can help ease your pain and tension.
Upper Trapezius: The upper trapezius muscle can become tense and tight from prolonged sitting and computer use. Massaging this area can help relieve neck pain and promote relaxation.
Levator Scapulae: The levator scapulae muscle, which connects the neck to the shoulder blade, can become tight from stress and poor posture. A skilled massage therapist can help alleviate your pain and improve your mobility.
Supraspinatus: This muscle is often tight in people who lift heavy objects or participate in sports with overhead motions. Massaging this area can help relieve shoulder pain and restore range of motion.
Suboccipital Muscles: These small muscles at the base of the skull can cause tension headaches and neck pain. Gentle massage techniques can help relieve tension and improve blood flow to the area.
At Jaqu and Cait, our experienced massage therapists specialize in targeting these specific pressure points to provide customized treatment plans tailored to your individual needs.
