Such a Pain in the Neck… (And Other Reasons to Book a Massage)

Apr 15

Written By Jen Ros

Let’s talk about that literal pain in the neck.

We’ve all been there—waking up with a stiff neck, feeling like you slept on a pile of bricks instead of a pillow. Or maybe it creeps in mid-workday, right around hour six of staring at your laptop like it's personally offended you.

Neck pain is one of the most common complaints I see, and the good news is: massage therapy can work wonders. Like, turn-you-back-into-a-human-being kind of wonders.

What’s Causing That Neck Pain Anyway?

It’s not just bad sleep posture or stress (although, yes, those are biggies). Neck pain can come from:

Tech neck (aka constantly looking down at your phone)
Poor posture at your desk
Clenched jaw or stress tension
Old injuries or general tightness that never quite went away
Even emotional stress (your body holds onto more than you think)

Enter: Massage Therapy 🧘‍♂️

Here’s how these two work together like PB&J to relieve that cranky neck of yours:

✋ Massage Therapy

Think of this as the muscle whisperer. It helps:

Release built-up tension in the neck, shoulders, and upper back
Increase blood flow to promote healing
Break up those nasty knots you’ve been ignoring for months
Soothe your nervous system so you walk out feeling zen

Bonus: You’ll Probably Sleep Better

A relaxed neck = better sleep = less pain = better mood = world domination. Okay, probably best to take it one step at a time, but you have to start somewhere to become unstoppable.

TL;DR:

If your neck is being a drama queen, don’t just live with it. Massage therapy is like the peace your body desperately needs.
