Neck & Shoulders Massage
250 Baht / 1hr
A neck and shoulders massage is a specific type of massage therapy that focuses on relieving tension, stiffness, and discomfort in the muscles of the neck and shoulders. This area of the body is particularly prone to stress and tension due to factors such as poor posture, prolonged sitting, and repetitive movements, which can lead to muscle tightness, knots, and discomfort.
Here are some key aspects of a neck and shoulders massage:
Techniques:
The massage therapist may use a variety of techniques to address tension and discomfort in the neck and shoulders, including:
- Effleurage: Long, gliding strokes to warm up the muscles and improve circulation.
- Petrissage: Kneading and squeezing motions to release tightness and knots in the muscles.
- Friction: Circular movements with the fingers or palms to break up adhesions and increase mobility.
- Tapotement: Light tapping or percussive movements to stimulate and invigorate the muscles.
- Stretching: Gentle stretching of the neck and shoulder muscles to improve flexibility and range of motion.
Pressure:
The therapist may adjust the pressure of the massage based on your preferences and comfort level. Some people prefer a lighter touch, while others may benefit from deeper pressure to target areas of tension and tightness.
Focus on Trigger Points:
Trigger points are areas of tightness and tenderness within muscle tissue that can refer pain to other parts of the body. During a neck and shoulders massage, the therapist may locate and apply pressure to specific trigger points to help release tension and alleviate pain.
Relaxation:
In addition to addressing physical tension and discomfort, a neck and shoulders massage can also promote relaxation and stress relief. The soothing touch and rhythmic movements of the massage can help calm the nervous system and induce a state of deep relaxation.
Benefits:
Some potential benefits of a neck and shoulders massage include:
- Relief from neck and shoulder pain and stiffness
- Improved posture and range of motion
- Reduction of headaches and migraines
- Stress relief and relaxation
- Enhanced overall well-being and mood
Whether you’re experiencing chronic neck and shoulder pain or simply seeking relaxation and stress relief, a neck and shoulders massage can be a beneficial treatment. It’s important to communicate with your massage therapist about any specific areas of concern, preferences for pressure, and feedback during the session to ensure a personalized and effective treatment.
