What is Head & Shoulder Massage?
Head and shoulder massage focuses on the areas where most people carry stress: the neck, shoulders, upper back, and scalp. This targeted treatment is perfect for office workers, those with tension headaches, or anyone who needs quick relief without a full-body session.
The Technique
The therapist uses a combination of kneading, pressure point work, and gentle stretching on the neck, shoulders, upper back, and scalp. The session typically includes the arms and hands as well. Can be done seated or lying down.
Benefits of Head & Shoulder Massage
Tension headaches gone within 15 minutes
Releasing the suboccipital muscles at the base of the skull cuts off most tension headaches at the source
Neck and shoulder knots worked specifically, not incidentally
The full session time goes to the problem area — no dilution across a whole body
Rounded shoulders and forward head posture relieved
Pec minor, upper trap, and chest muscles released — the muscles pulling the shoulders forward loosened
