Do you carry stress in your neck and shoulders? Work with your therapist to determine the perfect pressure to release that tension with an upper-body massage.
The most common areas our clients complain about are their neck and shoulders. That is why our upper body massage is one of the essential processes for us to offer. This massage helps you regain full range of motion in your neck and shoulders. It can also help increase circulation and release toxins that are being trapped by tense muscle tissue.
And everyone who undergoes it reaches a state of comfort and relaxation we are all in desperate need of. An upper body massage begins with you lying on your back. The massage therapist will start with a deep shoulder massage and slowly work their way to the top of your neck. By focusing on the base of your skull, there is an immediate release of tension. From there, they will begin to slowly work their way down. Releasing tension caught in the neck and shoulders is extremely important to this process.
But tension is not limited to these areas. The practitioner will also work the pectoral muscle and even focus on freeing mobility in your arms. After working down to the pectoral muscle, the practitioner will typically ask you to roll over to the prone position. The practitioner may use various techniques to work muscle tissue of your back but avoid bony areas such as the spine.
The strokes they use throughout are similar to any deep tissue massage, long and firm. Their goal is to work the tense muscle tissue, focusing on alleviating tensions and freeing mobility.
