Is sports massage good for neck pain?
Is sports massage good for neck pain? Yes for most people, because a stiff neck usually comes from the upper back, chest and shoulders that hold the head up all day.
Why the neck responds well
Sports massage is good for neck pain because the neck rarely tightens on its own. Long hours at a screen or behind the wheel pull the head forward, and the muscles at the base of the skull, the top of the shoulders and the upper back work harder to hold it.
Easing those supporting areas gives the neck room to turn again. Many people are surprised how much freer the neck feels once the chest and upper back have been released.
What James works on
A neck pain session covers more than the neck itself.
- The small muscles at the base of the skull
- The top of the shoulders and shoulder blades
- The chest muscles that round the shoulders forward
- The upper back between the shoulder blades
How it feels
Work around the neck is steady and controlled, with pressure agreed with you as you go. The upper back and shoulders can take firmer work, and most people find that part deeply satisfying.
By the end of the session you will turn your head to each side again, so you can feel the difference for yourself.
Neck pain that has been there a while
Sports massage often helps most when neck stiffness has built up over months, because there is a clear pattern to follow. James explains what he finds so you understand why your neck has been working so hard.
Reviews
Is sports massage good for neck pain reviews
It opened my body up loads to where I could train harder for longer, and recover faster. I've sent people to James with fibromyalgia, back pain, sciatica and everyone has been helped.
I have suffered with constant overuse injuries for two years before I hired James. Since I started working with James, and getting regular treatment from him, I have stayed injury free for over 3 years.
