Muscle tension and stress
Tense muscles and stress are a common duo. The right massage relaxes the body, improves circulation and helps you regain balance, especially when work and home give you no chance to breathe.
What it is
Muscle tension most often affects the neck, shoulders and back. It can be painful, limit movement and lead to tension headaches and fatigue.
Stress acts on the body in a very concrete way: it raises muscle tension and worsens sleep and recovery. That is why massage is not just a pleasure, but real support for the body.
Where it comes from
- Sedentary work and poor posture. Hours of sitting overload the neck and back.
- Chronic stress. It keeps the muscles in constant tension.
- A lack of exercise or overload. Both inactivity and overly intense training strain the muscles.
- Insufficient sleep. It makes muscle recovery harder.
- Injuries. Old injuries can cause chronic tension.
How to recognise it
- A stiff neck and aching shoulders
- Back pain after a day at work
- Tension headaches
- Difficulty falling asleep
How we solve it
Therapeutic massage relaxes overloaded muscles and helps with back and neck pain. Classic massage relaxes the whole body and improves circulation, and head massage eases tension headaches and stress.
Before the massage we ask where it hurts and since when, so that we can choose the technique and pressure. For chronic complaints we recommend a series of treatments.
Treatments that help
What you can do every day
- Stretch regularly
- Introduce small daily rituals that help you relax
- Sleep long enough
When to book a consultation
If the pain is severe, radiates to the arm or leg, is accompanied by numbness or appeared after an injury, first consult a doctor.
