Neck Massage Benefits

Many factors can contribute to neck pain and can also be effectively treated by neck rub therapy. As mentioned, the most dominant cause of neck pain is stress, but some other common contributors include trauma/injury, muscular problems, trapped nerves or arthritis located in the neck area. Neck massages can provide relief from these contributors as well as those associated with pain from sleeping in an awkward position, carrying a heavy object or sitting too long at work. Engaging in neck massage therapy can reduce the instances of future problems.

So how do you know if the pain you are experiencing is actually neck pain? Below are some identifiers of neck pain...an indication that a neck rub is needed:

*Stiffness that affects the neck muscles;

* A radiating pain to the shoulders or between the shoulder blades;

* A one-sided or double-sided headache which produces pain in the arm, neck or head;

* Tense muscles in the neck which feel hard and sore;

* Pain at the base of the skull accompanied by weakness in the arms, shoulders and neck;

* Prickly or tingling sensation in the fingers and/or arms.

Neck massage is extremely effective in reducing stiffness and pain in the neck. So what are the most common benefits of neck massage therapy?
