Neck & Shoulder Massage – release tension in the upper back
Neck and shoulders are the number one stress zone. Screen work, smartphone use and emotional pressure lead to chronic tension. A targeted neck and shoulder massage brings noticeable relief – often after the first session.
Typical neck and shoulder complaints
Stiff neck
Restricted head mobility due to tense neck muscles – common in the morning or after long screen work
Shoulder pain
Tension pain in the trapezius – the classic 'office shoulder' from raised shoulders
Tension Headaches
Headaches radiating from the neck – a common accompanying symptom of neck tension
Smartphone neck
The forward head posture puts up to 25 kg of additional weight on the cervical spine
Jaw problems (TMJ)
Tension in the jaw and neck area are often connected – massage can help as a complement
Stress-related tension
Emotional stress leads to raised shoulders and neck tension
The Treatment
Neck and shoulder massage combines classic techniques, trigger point treatment and gentle stretches. Depending on complaints, the upper back, chest muscles and jaw area are also included.
With 60 minutes the focus is on neck and shoulders. With 90 minutes the entire back can be included – recommended for typical office complaints.
Prices
Massage 90 min.
For chronic neck complaints, I recommend weekly sessions for 3–4 weeks initially.
Complement: Acupressure (health insurance)
For chronic or stress-related complaints, acupressure can complement massage effectively. The TCM approach regulates the nervous system sustainably – and is covered by health insurance via supplementary cover.
FAQ – Neck & Shoulder Massage
Bei akuten Beschwerden empfehle ich anfangs wöchentliche Sitzungen. Zur Vorbeugung – besonders bei Büroarbeit – reicht eine Massage alle 2–3 Wochen.
Viele Migräne-Formen werden durch Nackenverspannungen getriggert oder verstärkt. Regelmässige Nacken-Massage kann die Häufigkeit und Intensität reduzieren. Bei chronischer Migräne empfehle ich zusätzlich Akupressur.
Regelmässige Pausen bei der Bildschirmarbeit, Dehnübungen für den Nacken, ergonomischer Arbeitsplatz und Stressmanagement helfen vorbeugend.
