Massage - Relieving Tension In The Neck

Being one of the greatest sources of tension in the whole body, the neck can benefit hugely from a good massage. Bad posture, stress, drafts, and poor working conditions can all cause neck pain, but even the sheer weight of your head can often cause your neck to ache. As with chest and shoulder massage, work standing or kneeling behind your partners head.

Side stroking

Your partner should be lying on his or her back. Using both of your hands together, stroke one side of the base of your partner’s neck.

The Art Of Massage

Massage is the practice of touching or of applying structured or unstructured pressure, tension, motion, or vibration — manually or with mechanical aids — to the soft tissues of the body, including muscles, connective tissue, tendons, ligaments, joints, lymphatic vessels, organs of the gastrointestinal system to achieve a beneficial response. Massage is an increasingly popular technique for relaxation and reduction of stress. Massage is a manual therapy that manipulates the soft tissues and decreases muscle tension, pain, stress and depression. Massage is one way to lessen and relieve these stresses that dull our minds and weaken our bodies. Massage is good to pamper yourself and feel more relaxed. Massage is also good for general well being of your health.
