What Makes Our Neck Massage Unique
At The Body Temple Spa, our neck massage transcends typical spa treatments through specialized cervical therapy techniques.
Most places just rub your shoulders for a minute and your out the door. That's not us.
The therapists here know specific neck techniques suboccipital release, scalene work, levator scapulae stuff, deactivating upper traps. I know that sounds like alot of big words but basically we know necks inside and out.
Each 30 minute thing starts with checking your posture and how much you can move without it hurting. That shows us whats actually wrong.
What makes us different is we get modern problems. Students have that forward head thing from being hunched over books and phones constantly. Office people have different issues from computers and desk work. We know exactly which muscles get screwed up from what activity.
We have special neck pillows and positioning tools in the rooms. Makes it so we can work on deep muscles without you being uncomfortable the whole time.
The Neck Massage Experience
First we look at how your holding your neck, check if your shoulders are even, see how your heads sitting. Then you lay down with support under your neck and we start really gentle because neck stuff is delicate.
We go through the muscle layers step by step. Surface stuff first then deeper.
Were constantly asking about pressure. Neck work you can't just push hard. Our girls are really careful with this part.
Alot of clients like that we explain whats happening. "This muscle is pulling your head forward, that's why you get headaches" type stuff. Plus we show you things to do at home so you don't come back in a week feeling exactly the same. If you want to start with something now you can see here 5 ways to get rid of neck pain.

FAQ
Is professional neck massage good for pain relief?
Yeah it does. Treats tech neck, tension headaches, chronic stiffness by hitting trigger points and releasing tight muscles. Our therapists use specific techniques for immediate and long term relief. Improves circulation, reduces inflammation, fixes posture. Super important if you use computers or phones a lot.
How do massage therapists release tight neck muscles?
We use trigger point therapy, myofascial release, deep tissue work. Apply pressure to knots, then gentle stretching to restore mobility. Increases blood flow, breaks adhesions, retrains muscles to hold right. Most people feel way better after first session.
Where are the danger zones for neck massage?
Never the front where blood vessels and carotid artery are. Never deep pressure on throat or directly on spine. Our therapists focus on back neck muscles, trapezius, shoulder blade areas where tension actually is. Safe and effective.
How do I know if my neck pain is muscular or nerve-related?
Muscular feels like tightness, aching, knots that get worse with positions. Nerve pain is sharp shooting, numbness, tingling down arms, weak hands. If you got radiating pain or loss of sensation see a doctor first. Muscular tension (most common) we can definitely help.
What should I avoid doing with a stiff neck?
Don't jerk your head around, sleep on stomach, look down at phone for hours. Don't ice more than 20 minutes. Don't crack your own neck. Book professional massage instead. We fix stiffness safely and teach you how to prevent it.
Does massage actually loosen tight muscles and release knots?
Yes it literally breaks down muscle knots (trigger points) and releases tension. Pressure increases blood flow, reduces spasms, breaks scar tissue. We combine deep tissue and stretching for lasting results. Immediate improvement, better over time with regular sessions.
What's the best sleeping position for neck pain relief?
Back or side with pillow that keeps neck aligned with spine. Don't sleep on stomach - forces neck rotation for hours. Pillow should fill gap without tilting head. Our therapists give personalized advice during session including pillow recommendations for your specific situation.
Why do I feel lightheaded or weird after a neck massage?
Lightheadedness from releasing tension, increased circulation, toxins leaving muscles. Some people get emotional as stress leaves. Normal, passes in a few hours. We give post session instructions and say drink water. If its severe see your doctor before coming back.
