Neck pain often occurs with back pain, and the symptoms are similar. Symptoms may include spasm, stiffness, muscle discomfort, limitation of movement and headaches. The pain can occur suddenly (acute) or be constant (chronic); an acute injury can lead to chronic pain and loss of range of motion, if left untreated. Massage is a non-invasive alternative to prescription medication commonly used for treating neck and back pain. Although massage affects the whole body, it is especially therapeutic for the musculoskeletal, circulatory, lymphatic and nervous systems.
A combination of techniques, performed by an experienced massage therapist, will provide pain relief and help recovery. Deep tissue massage when carried out with Swedish massage releases tension from the deeper muscles and connective tissues in the neck and back. With deep tissue massage, the applied pressure is harder, more intense, and focused on releasing adhesions (“knots”) or scar tissue that may be causing neck and back pain.
