Stress-busting back, neck and shoulder massage
A back, neck and shoulder massage can help to relieve stress and tension and promote relaxation. Relax in the South Norfolk area.
As a therapeutic treatment focussing on the back, neck and shoulders, this type of massage can be performed in different styles, sports or Swedish massage. A session focussing on these areas would aim to induce relaxation and leave you feeling calm and free from stress.
If you're experiencing tension headaches, a sore neck, sore upper back, or sore shoulders, it's possible that the trapezius muscle is involved. The trapezius, located in the upper back and neck, can become tight and strained due to factors such as poor posture, stress, repetitive motions, or muscle imbalances. You can learn more about this muscle, common issues and tips for relief in my trapezius blog post.
Both popular and beneficial, back, neck, and shoulder massage offers a variety of advantages. It can alleviate stress and tension while enhancing blood circulation, flexibility, and a range of motion around this area of the body. Massage is also recognised for enhancing the immune system's function and reducing muscle soreness and fatigue.
One of the primary benefits of the back, neck, and shoulder massage is its ability to relax the recipient. Through the utilisation of long, flowing strokes and gentle techniques, this massage aids in soothing the mind and relaxing the body. Individuals dealing with high levels of stress or anxiety can particularly benefit from this treatment. Moreover, the back, neck, and shoulder massage can improve the quality of sleep by facilitating a state of relaxation that promotes easier and uninterrupted sleep.
Massage is also known to enhance circulation and increase overall blood flow throughout the body. It stimulates blood circulation in the targeted muscles, which in turn improves their functionality and reduces soreness. The application of Swedish or sports massage techniques during this therapy helps enhance flexibility and the range of motion as it loosens and stretches the muscles.

I offer the following treatment types:
Sports massage is the use of specific therapy techniques in an athletic context to improve recovery time, enhance performance and reduce the risk of injury. This is accomplished using techniques that stimulate the flow of blood and lymph to and from muscles. Sports massage is often delivered before or after physical activity depending on the subject's needs, preferences and goals.
This is a gentle treatment, with relaxation as the goal. Taking 30 or 60 minutes, this massage should leave you relaxed and de-stressed.
This is a fantastically relaxing treatment, which uses hot and if desired cold stones to work into the muscles. It's a gentler treatment than a conventional sports massage, but is still great for dealing with aches, pains and tight spots.
A CBD-infused sports massage is a specialised therapeutic massage that incorporates products containing cannabidiol (CBD). This treatment combines the benefits of traditional sports massage techniques with the anti-inflammatory, pain-relieving, and relaxation-inducing properties of CBD. It is designed to enhance muscle recovery, reduce pain and inflammation, alleviate stress, improve sleep, and support overall well-being.
Pregnancy massage, delivered to an expectant mother, uses aids such as pillows and bolsters to ensure that the client can lie comfortably. The therapy techniques used allow for the many physical changes that a woman experiences during this time.
To begin your appointment, we will have a conversation about your needs, medical history, and any concerns you may have. I may also conduct some brief observations of your posture, range of motion, and movement; you will then be asked to make yourself comfortable on the massage table, under a blanket. You may need to disrobe to your underwear, depending on what you are wearing, but never more than that. After the massage is complete, we will have another chat to discuss how you're feeling, and if necessary, I may recommend exercises and stretches to maintain the benefits of the massage and provide aftercare advice.
Then you're all done, and hopefully feeling relaxed and ready to face the world again!
