Q: I have Pain in my neck, can massage help pain in the neck?
.
.
A: There are several styles of massage for neck pain, or pain in the neck.
I offer several styles of massage for neck pain - including:
.
1. Orthopedic massage - as used in physical therapy offices for workplace injuries of the neck, sports injuries of the neck, etc. .
2. Chiropractic massage - as used in chiropractic offices to relax muscle and connective tissues before a chiropractor makes an adjustment.
Traction can be very relaxing for the neck. .
3. Structural Integration - more commonly known as Rolfing and Hellerwork - to release fascia in the neck, along the clavicle and occiput area's
that can be applying continual stress to vertebrae of the neck.
.. 4. Shiatsu Accupressure - deep thumb pressures and thumb petrisagge along the occiput (base of the skull) and along neck vertebrae C1-C7. .
