How Massage Therapy Relieves Neck and Shoulder Pain

How Massage Therapy Relieves Neck and Shoulder Pain

If you’re like many adults in San Leandro, you’re probably carrying a lot of tension in your neck and shoulders. Whether it’s from long hours at a desk, driving, or just everyday stress, that tight, aching feeling can really wear you down. The good news? Massage therapy offers real, lasting relief—and it’s one of the most effective ways to treat neck and shoulder pain without relying on medication.

Why Neck and Shoulder Pain Is So Common

Our modern lifestyle is a perfect recipe for muscle tension. Long hours at computers, looking down at phones, and poor posture all contribute to stress in the upper body. Add in emotional stress, and your neck and shoulders can become a chronic pain zone.

Left untreated, this kind of tension can lead to:

  • Headaches and migraines
  • Limited range of motion
  • Poor sleep quality
  • Radiating pain down the arms

How Massage Therapy Helps

At Noy Massage in San Leandro, our massage therapists take a targeted approach to massage therapy for neck and shoulder pain. Every session is personalized to your body, using techniques designed to break up tension and promote circulation where you need it most.

1. Shiatsu Massage

This technique targets “knots” in the muscle—tight spots that refer pain to other areas like the neck or between the shoulder blades. Releasing these points brings quick, noticeable relief.

2. Deep Tissue Massage

Deep Tissue techniques focus on the deeper layers of muscle and fascia. This is great for chronic tightness or past injuries that are still causing pain.

3. Myofascial Release

This slow, sustained pressure technique helps loosen the connective tissue that can restrict movement and create long-term stiffness.

4. Assisted Stretching

Stretching the neck, shoulders, and upper back during your massage helps improve range of motion and prevent future flare-ups.

What to Expect During Your Session

Before we begin, I’ll ask about your pain patterns, daily habits, and any past injuries. This helps tailor the session to your unique needs. We’ll focus on affected areas, but also treat connected muscle groups to provide longer-lasting results.
