Cervical spine release is one of the most important components of massage. Sedentary lifestyle and a lot of mental stress cause tension in the upper part of our body, which makes neck massage a must if you want to fully relax.

Stiff neck and headache

Tightness and stiffness of neck muscles can lead to a number of problems and make life very uncomfortable. A long-term stiffness in the neck not only results in lower mobility and neck pain, but can also lead to nerve inflamation, rise in blood pressure, headaches, dizziness, nausea, or tinnitus.

In particular, the position of the atlas and the other 3 vertebrae (C1-C4) plays a crucial role in starting headaches. It is thanks to the cervical plexus, protruding from this area. Problems in this part of the cervical spine are commonly associated with dizziness, nausea, but also migraines, often caused by pressure on the cranial vessels. Incorrect position of the cervical vertebrae affects not only the spinal cord and nerves, but also the brain blood supply.
Nerve irritation in the lower part of the neck and the upper part of the thoracic spine can in turn cause twitching of the hands, low shoulder mobility and shoulder joint inflamation.

Tense neck, tense mind

Shortened and tense neck muscles can cause pulling and tightness of the entire cranial base. This keeps us in a state of increased nervousness, causes restlessness and decreases our ability to concentrate. Over time, it can seriously disrupt sleep. Irritated nerves overstimulate our brain, due to which we often cannot switch off at the end of the day.

Neck massage makes people feel not only more relaxed, but also calmer, more alive, and as if their head has been emptied. The whole body can also feel relief thanks to removing pressure from the spinal cord and cervical nerves.

What makes Spinework neck massage special?

Spinework techniques are softer, safer and at the same time work much deeper and have a more lasting effect than many methods of classical massage or a chiropractor. During this neck massage a client lies on the back, thanks to which no unpleasant pressure is exerted on the cervical vertebrae, and it also allows getting into deeper layers of muscles and tissues. Through gentle work with the trigger points, the stiff muscle isn´t forcibly squashed, but actually relaxes, even in case of long-term and chronic stiffness and knots. If necessary, neck & shoulder massage can be joined with a cranial release techniques from craniosacral therapy.
