Massage of the neck

And how much time do you spend curled up over your mobile phone, playing computer games, or just sitting on the sofa, staring at the TV? How do your neck and back muscles react to this?

Stagnation occurs in these areas, they become stiff and there is heaviness in the neck and in the upper back. And these are just the first symptoms that lead to more serious consequences.

What stiffness in the neck can lead to?

The cervical part of the spine directly affects the ability to function both of the neck itself and of the arms and head.

Tension and stiffness in the neck and back muscles worsen blood circulation, make it difficult to move, and provoke pain, including headache, and can even lead to hand numbness. This condition is often accompanied by chronic fatigue, poor sleep and depressed mood.

All this creates a cycle from which it is difficult to escape. Clamps and pain in the body do not allow you to get proper rest, and without enough rest and sleep, your muscles are not able to relax.

As a result of metabolic disorders and malnutrition, deposits of salt in the neck area can start to accumulate. If you do not take steps to get rid of them in time, this will lead both to internal discomfort and the development of osteoporosis in the future, and also to the visible presence of a small “hill” in the neck area.

How can you stop the process of salt accumulation in the body?

Anything that has a more comprehensive approach in treatment – has more chances of success.

Since you have not paid enough attention to the neck area for a long time, one of the most effective methods you should first try is a professional neck-collar area massage. With this massage, the massage therapist can help to break down salt deposits and relax the neck muscles, as well as making you feel healthier.

The next most important thing is to regulate your daily routine, make sure you get enough time to sleep (at least 7 hours), go to bed before 24.00, have a balanced diet, do some physical exercise and be sure to take care of your posture (no stooping).

Principles of the neck-collar zone massage at the PRIZMA Medical Centre

A massage therapist at the PRIZMA Medical Centre carries out a massage procedure with the aim of:

• help to ease pain syndrome
• reduce stress
• relax muscle
• remove stagnation in the body.

The more the body is tightened up and the more salt has accumulated – the more sensitive the first massage sessions will be, and the more sessions you will need to attend.

On average, in order to get the muscles fully stretched and to take the pain away, a course of 8 to 10 sessions is necessary (depending on the patient’s condition).

While massaging the neck-collar area, the massage therapist combines different types of movements to work on the overstrained muscles (stroking, rubbing, kneading, vibration).

The session begins with stroking movements with varying degrees pressure, from very superficial to more powerful and deep. This technique enhances blood circulation, warm up and relax the muscles.

The massage therapist uses rubbing movements to warm up the deeper tissue. These movements are carried out along the blood and lymph flow and they can be spiral, pincer-like or comb-like. At this stage of the massage, the stagnant areas are softened, pathological formations are loosed and the muscle elasticity is increased.

Most of the time, in percentage terms, the massage therapist devotes to kneading.

Kneading is a set of techniques that fix the massage area, then squeezed it and knead it, which allows massaging deep-lying muscles and identifying areas of “salt deposits”. When kneading, the movements are slow, soft and forceful but pain-free. You can feel them with every cell of your body. The harder they are “blocked”, the more sensitive the touch will be. At the same time, the kneading process will break up salt deposits, improve tissue nutrition, blood circulation and reduce pain.

Massage begins and ends with stroking, soothing movements.
