Common Causes of Neck and Shoulder Pain
Neck and shoulder discomfort can arise from a variety of factors, including:
Repetitive movements at work or home
Muscle tension and stiffness
Stress and mental tension
Previous injuries or overuse
Tight or overworked muscles from daily habits
While the exact cause may vary, the solution often comes down to releasing tight muscles, improving circulation, and restoring movement — which is exactly what targeted remedial massage does.
How Targeted Massage Therapy Helps
Targeted massage focuses specifically on the muscles and connective tissues that are causing pain or stiffness. During your session, I:
Assess the areas of tension
Apply techniques to release tight, overworked muscles
Improve blood flow and oxygen to affected tissues
Help reduce inflammation and muscle guarding
This approach ensures that treatment isn’t just relaxing — it’s effective in addressing the root of your discomfort.
Areas I Commonly Treat
For neck and shoulder pain, I often work on:
Upper trapezius and shoulder muscles
Neck muscles including sternocleidomastoid and levator scapulae
Upper back and thoracic muscles
Surrounding areas that contribute to tension, like the chest and shoulder blades
Treating connected muscles helps restore balance and reduces the likelihood of recurring pain
How Many Sessions Are Needed?
Many clients feel relief after a single targeted session. For chronic or long-standing pain, I usually recommend a series of treatments to achieve lasting results.
During your sessions, I may also provide:
Simple home stretches or exercises
Advice on relieving tension during daily activities
Guidance to prevent pain from returning
