Our necks can get so sore and one of the best ways to relieve that pain is massage. Headaches and migraines can often be caused by neck pain. It is a common ailment for our neck to get so stiff we can barely turn our head. This can also be the result of excessive tension and stress.

Neck pain can be caused by so many things. Sometimes it is caused by the way we slept. This pain can often be relieved with a warm compress, heating pad or shower. This loosens and relaxes the muscles. If there is inflammation, apply ice for 20 minutes and alternate with heat.

Prolonged use of a computer or cell phone will often cause us to have a sore neck. This pain will usually go away after a while but massage will speed up the recovery time. By using more ergonomic tools and methods like holding our phone or device in a higher position, more level with the eyes, instead of constantly bending our head down will help to reduce pressure on the neck muscles.

Massage is a wonderful, natural way to reduce stress, ease tension and loosen sore muscles and knots in our neck and back.
