In a nutshell, upper back and neck pain, the most common complaint I hear as a therapeutic massage therapist, is relieved by correcting unhealthy postural habits.
Sitting at a computer tends to result in heads going forward, shortening muscles in the front of the neck and chest.
Shoulder stabilizer muscles of the back become overstretched and weak, offering no support.
I correct this imbalance by stretching and strengthening specific muscles.
