Neck and shoulder pain is often associated with headaches, reduced range of movement and referred pain down your arms. Massage for head neck and shoulders can help eliminate these symptoms, bringing you release, relaxation and better movement.
The neck has 18 muscles and 25 ligaments. With so many muscles and soft tissue structures in and around the neck, it is important to give the neck necessary protection and relief. Massage is one of the most effective treatments for pain in the neck and shoulders. The main purpose of head, neck and shoulder massage is to eliminate the tension and the spasms from the muscles, improve circulation and encourage relaxation.

By using variable massage techniques, it is possible to release trigger points, gradually dissolve chronic tension, re-educate neck muscles into full flexibility. All in all, massage for head, neck and shoulder pain can be considered one of the most effective tools.
