Pain in the Neck

An achy neck and shoulder is a common sore spot for most people. Whether it is stress, work related, or an injury of some sort, necks take a lot of abuse. Why is it that neck pain is so common? Well, look at today’s posture in most work places. A lot of work, in the present day, is done at a desk or in front of a computer. Those shoulders are slumped inward, your head is forward and rarely is your spine straight. It’s no wonder your neck is sore! It also has an average of eight to twelve pounds to carry around all day until your head hits the pillow at night.

Luckily massage is a good option to diminish neck and shoulder pain; a combination of back and head, neck, shoulder massage can significantly reduce tension held in these areas. It can also reduce headaches caused by posture related issues, help with muscle spasms and those general tender spots in your neck and shoulders.

COVID-19 Update

Due to the State of Emergency announced in Waterloo Region this past week and the mandate put forth by PHA and my governing college (CMTO), I will be temporarily keeping my Massage Therapy Clinic closed at this time. As I am unsure as to when it will be safe to reopen, I will be contacting clients on a weekly basis who have an upcoming appointment to cancel their treatments and will be placing them on a rebook list for when this outbreak has passed.
