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.
