Relieving Head and Neck Tension with Massage Therapy

Tightness in the head, neck, and shoulders is one of the most common complaints among clients—and often a hidden source of pain, poor sleep, and tension headaches.
 
Whether caused by stress, posture, or muscle overuse, massage therapy offers safe and effective relief.
 

Common Head & Neck Issues Helped by Massage 

  • Tension headaches
    Often caused by tight muscles around the neck, shoulders, and base of the skull. Massage reduces pressure and eases pain.
  • Common from desk work, screen time, or stress. Massage helps restore movement and reduce discomfort.
  • Jaw tension and TMJ pain
    Clenching or grinding the jaw can lead to headaches and facial tension. Targeted massage can ease these muscles and improve jaw mobility
  • Stress-related tightness
    Chronic stress often leads to muscle guarding in the neck and shoulders. Massage encourages relaxation and resets the body.

Massage Techniques That Help

  • Soft tissue massage
    Relaxes superficial muscles and calms the nervous system.
  • Deep tissue massage
    Targets deeper layers to release chronic tension and improve posture.
  • Trigger point therapy
    Releases tight knots that refer pain to the head, jaw, or neck.
